Make sure you tag us at #scotsinlondonceilidh
Winners will be randomly selected and announced this Thursday (14 March)
With just 1 week left to secure your tickets to our Ceilidh evening we thought we would look back (or rather listen back!) at the amazing sounds of the London Scottish Regiment Pipes and Drums as they closed our sell-out Gala evening last year.
We are thrilled that they will be back to open our Ceilidh evening for us, guaranteed to get us off to a rousing start.

Last night ScotsinLondon went along to support two great #BurnsNight 2024 events run by our members:
Deconstructed Burns at Scotland House London and Burns Nights Songs by @ceilidhclub, our most recent joiner.
Featuring the talented @ainsleyhamill co-founder of @theassociationofexiledscots , the evening featured a wide range of Burns Songs from love songs to political numbers like this one about the Jacobites.

Happy #burnsnight2024 to all our followers. We have a busy day ahead of us, at 12.30pm we joined The Burns Club of London for their commemorative wreath laying at the Burns statue on Embankment
If you would like to visit the statute it is in Victoria Gardens
