Residents from HC-One’s Old Gates care home in Blackburn welcomed Bob and his bagpipes to perform in a celebration of Burns Night on Friday 25th January.
Burns Night commemorates of the life of the bard Robert Burns, born 25th January 1759. The day also commemorates Burns' contribution to Scottish culture, including his best known work, Auld Lang Syne.
Before Bob’s performance began, everyone sat down to a traditional Burns Night supper of haggis with all the trimmings. Bob had everyone singing along to their favourite tunes, some even got up to dance or tapped their feet.
For some Residents, Burns Night was a time to reminisce with the sound of the bagpipes playing brining back happy memories from childhoods and younger years. Some Residents decided to have their picture taken with Bob and his bagpipes and a reminder of what a wonderful day they had.
