Guests then stand as a bagpiper pipes music to welcome the star attraction of the supper – the haggies, a sheep’s stomach stuffed with the sheep’s heart, liver and lungs.

The chairman, or an invited guest, then recites Robert Burns' poem, "Address To A Haggis". The haggis is then cut and served to the guests.

Haggis is served with ‘tatties and neeps’ (mashed potatoes and turnip). This is accompanied by the traditional starter, Cock-a-leekie (chicken and leek) soup and a traditional Scottish desserts such as sherry trifle or oatcakes.

The evening always ends with everyone joining hands and singing Burns’ world-famous song ‘Auld Lang Syne’, meaning ‘For Times Gone By’.
