    Alan, we have done a very similar thing to what you're suggesting for many years. While we don't have a formal Burns supper, we still celebrate the bard's day informally with close friends. Most of the people attending would not be interested in the "full meal deal", so we keep it an informal pot luck dinner. People usually wear something tartan and bring Scottish dishes and libations. We supply the home, the fireplace and the haggis. A fine time is had by all.

    I've done the Burns Night meal at home with the family with as many of the trimmings as possible. We had a ball. I love tradition but sometimes its not always possible for the likes of me to get a piper in full kit to play in my dining room.(I made do with some downloaded Glasgow Police Pipe Band) and I sadly could not rise to the accent when reading 'To The Haggis'. Have a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/history/burnsnight. I used the links on this page to plan the night.
    HAPPY KILTING
