Burns night
 
I won't be having the haggis and neeps, which I love, but I might be persuaded to have a scotch or 3, if they twist my arm! ;)

The Egyptians are known to have practised the distillation of perfumes 3000 years before J.C

I believe "Hag" comes from Scandinavia

Only the Scots can do Burns night and Christmas-theyve cornered the market. The English are too boring and have no culture to speak of apparently.

Now ,now girls and boys, each country in the UK has it's strength's and weakness.Let's not have a slanging match or a macho discussion about which has the better culture.There's good and bad to be taken from all of the 4 countries of the UK's cultures.
