Burns Night

A night where Scotch, poetry, and tradition meet.
Join fellow whisky lovers as we honor Robert Burns the way it was meant to be done — with spoken verse, ceremonial haggis, and raised glasses in the heart of the pub.
Expect: • Poetry by Burns • Haggis served proper • A room full of Scotch enthusiasts • No ceremony for ceremony’s sake — just tradition done right
Reservation will be 25.00 per person - this amount will be credited back to you on your final bill on the night of the event.
please email chatwithmerlin@yahoo.com if you would like to be a presenter of a particular poem. Each presenter will receive a free pint of Belhaven
