tartan wreath for the front door
st andrew flags and tartan bunting on the fireplace
the celebration tree with tartan bows
and rabbie burns
and thistles and celtic brooches
and bagpipes
haggis, neeps and tatties
a wee dram
background music
decorated dog
we ate scotch broth to start, the traditional main and then clootie dumpling with shortbread (i managed to find a recipe for microwave clooties! i don't do steaming for 4 hours...)
we made the traditional speeches, addressed the haggis, read poetry and sang auld lang syne
and i found that whiskey really aids a restful sleep!
'lang may yer lum reek' (i know it's usually said at hogmanay but seems befitting tonight too)
