Posted by: Catriona 02-Jan-2003, 05:31 PM
Well, that's Hogmanay done and dusted....  the next thing to look forward to is a Burns' Supper at the end of January.

Traditional fare is haggis, neeps n tatties, washed doon wi copious amounts of whisky.

Followed by.............   either cranachan or trifle - which is followed by coffee/drambuie/shortbread/black bun...


Slainte :D

I forgot to say.......  the haggis is piped in and the 'Address to a  Haggis' is said....   Usually preceeded by the Selkirk Blessing.

My speciality is to recite 'Tam O'Shanter' - in its entirety!

Do any of the Americans here attend Burns' Suppers?

Well, there just so happens to be a burns supper that Highland Lassie and her younger brother will be performing at in January! I've never been to one, but I will have to wait as their Mom and Dad we will be spending our time at a hotel with our toddler - so maybe next year we will get to go......

Posted by: FloweroftheWest 03-Jan-2003, 04:40 PM
Never had the luck to attend one admittingly lol. Maybe I should have a look round and see what is possible ... lol Hopefully its not such a washout as Hogmanay lol . Slàinte Catriona, have one on me will ye?

There should be plenty of Burns' Suppers available on Skye, FotW...    Try to get a ticket - it's great fun.  I love the poetry of Robert Burns - but admit it's the banter that I like best at a Supper.

Slainte - an hav wan yersel   :D

The St. Andrews Society of Maine is having one and so is our band.  It is wonderful to get together and celebrate Scotland's greatest poet.

We do pipe in the haggis as well as address it along with all of the other traditions that are associated with the occasion.

Well, it's Burns' Night on 25 January....  BUT, I'm attending a Burns' Supper tomorrow night...

My friend is giving the Address to the Haggis....    another friend is reciting the Selkirk Blessing.  First time that both honours have been given to women....   At last, Scotland recognises Equal Opportunites!  :D

Posted by: Macfive 27-Jan-2003, 05:05 AM
That is awesome Catriona! I have yet to attend a burns supper, but I am happy that they are recognizing the better half of the human species! ;)

Signed Dimplomatically! :)

Hi, MacFive
I think it is still VERY, VERY rare for women to give the Blessing and the Address!  In fact, this was the first Burns' Supper I have attended where it has happened.... :rolleyes

I suppose the women don't look quite so fine as the men - after all, only the men wear kilts, the women have to make do with evening dresses!

I wore a dark green brocade gown with a 'stole' (shawl) of my family tartan....  Don't like those sash things beloved of so many clan societies!

I've posted a W T McGonagall poem in another fora here. Just to point out that we in Scotland pride ourselves not just on being the best, but arguably, the WORST of poets! ::lol

It has been awfully quiet on these boards for a while now....  No new topics.  I'm in danger of giving up trying to spark interest....  :D

::viking Oh don't do that.  I know sometimes it is dead around here, but they'll be back.  I couldn't even get on site for a couple of days. Maggie sent me email saying she could not post.

I just attended my first burns supper held by the Lorne Scots Regiment in Brampton Canada.  It was a wonderful night.  It was great to see almost everyone in their mess outfits and hieland regalia.  Some of the women even wore traditional scottish dress which added to the beauty of the evening.  The Lorne Scots Pipe Band were amazing, as was the haggis.  I emigrated from Scotland 14 years ago, and this evening served to remind me of the wonderful traditions we have.  So much so that I've decided that it is time that I proudly displayed my heritage.  I'll be purchasing my kilt et all when I save up my pennies. :D  (d)

Do you still live in Edinburgh.

I once dated a girl from Edinburgh, but the long commute soon put an end to that.  Thought she was the one
though. :(  

Are you familiar with Gullane?  I went to the Fire Training School there.  If memory serves it wasn't too far away from Edinburgh.

Posted by: Catriona 28-Jan-2003, 05:26 PM

I hope that some of the other posters will be interested in my last post to Joe.... I'm a member of a number of Lallans sites (the lowlander language of Scotland) - where we try to keep our language alive.  Now, some will say it is merely a dialect of English, but we beg to differ....

If anyone needs help with the translation, jist gie us a hoy, as we would say!

Posted by: Joe C 28-Jan-2003, 08:29 PM

Maggie
'Hinny' is an expression from the Newcastle/Northumberland area of England (near the border) and is broadly equivalent to our 'hen'.... a term of endearment to a girl or woman.

I don't know about Movin though....   although as we often leave the 'g' off our words like runnin, walkin, shootin, fishin etc....  could it be moving?  :D   What's the context and I may be able to come up with a suggestion!

Yes, 'goat' is got - it's how we pronounce 'got'!  Noat for Not etc...   It used to be that when you typed in Lallans, you used apostrophes to denote a missing letter, but this has now been dropped.  For instance we used to write wall as  wa', now it's just wa.  

Some expressions in Lallans are specific to the West Coast, some to the East.

The Doric is the Scottish language as spoken around Aberdeen or, as we in the Central Belt call it 'Furry Boots Toon'...   cos when an Aberdonian asks where you come from - it sounds like 'Furry Boots ur you fae'  :)

If you listen to Billy Connolly's videos or CDs, you would get a clear idea of the cadence and rythm of our speech patterns.  The people on the West Coast have more sing-song accents than us on the East, and Westies also say ours is a harsher accent!

I think it is important that we do not let the old words and phrases die out..    My Dad was a highlander, and his family spoke English as their second language.  In fact, my paternal grandfather had quite a job to remember to talk in English! I have very little Gaelic, only the few stock phrases, but I equally believe that our Lallans speech patterns and special phrases should not die out either.

That's wan thing a huv noticed, an aw kiddin aside, Scottish education is second to none.  At least that's ma experience oanyway.  Mind ye, ah didnae appreciate it when ah wis in school.  A richt wee scallywag so a wis.

Don't ken tae much aboot big Sean's politics ah try tae stay oot o politics if a can.  Sean Connery the actor is the best as far as am concerned, especially as James Bond.  Second to his James Bond wis David Niven.  Ah'll raise ma glass tae that. (b)

No that its a competition or onything, but ma Auntie Margaret went tae school wa the Big Yin.  Aye Billy Connelly.  A guess cuz he's frae Glesga yer no intae him, or um a wrang.  Other than Big Sean, wis there onybody else that wis famous that came oot o Edinburgh?  A canna mind.

Posted by: Catriona 06-Feb-2003, 02:57 AM
NAW AH WISNAE A FAN......  :;):    so dinnae stert!  Mah sister wis ages wi the lead singer and knew him when he wis a plooky faced youngster, but.  So, naw, ah didnae wear the haufmast troosers anat....  An fur sumbdi whae CLAIMS no tae ken whae they UR......? :D

LENA ZAVARONI?  Boak!  Naw, wis she no fae Dunoon or somewhaurs?  That kinna bad taste wis ayeways a Westie's style!  Still, it wis an affae shame, the way her life ended, richt enuf.

Am mair prood o ma heritage noo than a wis back then.  Perhaps am lookin back thru rose coloured glesses, but ah don't care.  Am Scots and proud of it. (d)  :D

But am afraid ah really did like LZ, but ah oanie admitted it cus am oor here and naebiddie, no even ma brurrers, will ever get tae ken this.

Ah like walking.... the Pentland Hills ur braw.....   An sailin in the summer.  We huv a smaw boat.  An food..... ah love to cook an ah love to eat...   so trying oot new restaurants is fave pastime!

You should see Leith noo, Joe.... you widnae ken it.... mair braw restaurants than you cuid shake a stick at.....  the 'ladies of easy virtue' huv bin moved oan since Britannia wis docked err!!!!

I love history, an no jist cos it's mah subject :D

No man. I'm not questioning the fine muscle tone, of your legs; just the cuteness of you Knees.

Rest assured the cuteness o ma knees takes second place only tae the cuteness o ma boyish good looks.  :cool:  

Well that's whit they telt me at yon visually impaired school doon ra road :D

I do believe we have one Scotsman here with a good sense of humour.  :D  My own hubby's legs be as white as the driven snow!  But that's ok because mine are too. But look out come summer, there's nothing no better than sitting out on the deck with my sunglasses on  :cool: suntan oil and a good book to read.  What a way to RELAX!  You ought to try it sometime Catriona, you might just like it!  :D

Hey don't knock your non tanned skin. It is the best you can get. Better to be white, than to get blisters, trying for the myth, of a California Tan. Then you're just red and sore, all summer.  
I'll have to hold my judgment, on your bonnie knees being cute, I guess you could come to the pub, and join Paul and Dave dancing on the tables.
