Edinburgh care home celebrates Burns Night

Residents and team members at HC-One’s Murrayfield House care home in Edinburgh came together to celebrate Burns Night on Saturday 25th January.

Burns Night is a celebration of the life of the bard Robert Burns which is hosted on the anniversary of his birthday, 25th January 1759. The day also commemorates Burns' contribution to Scottish culture, including his best known work, Auld Lang Syne.

Everyone gathered in the ballroom for live entertainment from Danny Feelgood, who performed a variety of songs including traditional Scottish music. Residents also sampled some wine and shortbread throughout the performance finishing off with a round of applause for Danny. 

Murrayfield House Home Manager, Mandy Cooper said: “I am pleased that everyone enjoyed our Burns Night celebrations, it’s important to remember our history and keep traditions alive.”
