Celebrate Burns Night at Hamilton Hall!
Join Hamilton Hall for a lively evening of Scottish culture!
Raise a toast!
Burns Nights (or Burns Suppers) began in July of 1801, five years after famous Scottish poet Robert Burns’ death. Friends gathered to give tribute to the Scottish bard, drinking whisky and reading his songs and poems. Over the centuries, Burns Nights have grown into an international phenomenon.
The evening begins with appetizers and whisky tasting with laid back experts. Not a whisky fan? Signature drinks and other beverages, including non-alcoholic beverages, will be in abundance. Enjoy live Scottish music while you chat with friends, admire everyone’s Scottish garb, and get ready for the delicious seated three-course meal. Try the haggis, if you're adventurous!
A TRIP TO SCOTLAND?
Let your imagination run away on a magical trip to Scotland where you stay in one of hundreds of amazing historic properties. The Royal Mile in the heart of Edinburgh has 400 year old flats for let. Or, maybe a stay in a cozy cottage, warming by the fire on a cold evening in the highlands is more to your liking? A lighthouse overlooking a rocky shore where ships of yore met their fate? Or perhaps channel your inner royalty and rent an entire wing of a castle? The choice is yours when you cast in your ticket for our “Scottish Vacation” drawing! Win $1,000 toward the trip of your dreams via a credit to the National Trust for Scotland, which offers properties throughout the country. Tickets are merely $50 and strictly limited to 100 sold! See below for a photo of our 2020 winners.
WHAT ELSE IS ON TAP?
There will also be drawings at $10/chance for other select items including whisky and choice items donated from generous local businesses.
Sit and listen to humorous toasts and poetic tributes! Dance the night away with Scottish folk dancing!
Are ye ready? Let’s go!
