Concert guests and entertainers will be welcomed by Caledonian Club president Eleanor Boswell. Chief Cecil MacPhail will be master of ceremonies. To mark the anniversary of Burns’ birth, there will be a haggis ceremony honouring the national dish of Scotland. The haggis will be carried in by Douglas MacNevin and led by piper Duncan Crawford.
