Burns Night - Fyvie Castle

On Saturday, January 28 we were invited to a Burns Night Supper at Fyvie Castle as a guest of Cameron.  It was the most amazing evening we have had here in Aberdeen. We left around 6 pm via Coach and arrived at the castle 45 minutes later. The castle was elegant and we were escorted into the castle by guards. Dinner began with the Presentation of the Haggis. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner, single malt Scotch, wine, great company, and amazing entertainment by Scottish bagpipers, the Lonach Highlander and Pipe band, and a Quartet from London. Jon and I had a great time!!
