Scotland's national bard, Robert Burns, once wrote: "Nae man can tether time or tide". For this quote alone (not to mention all the Scottish connections from our part of the country), I welcome Robbie Burns as an honourary Bay of Fundy-ite.On Robbie's birthday January 25, or Saturdays near this date, people around the world celebrate his life & poetry and their Scottish heritage.
Each year our family feasts and dances with about 200 other kilted Bay of Fundy Scottish descendants (ages 2 to 90!) at the annual Burns Night dinner and ceilidh (dance) in Port Williams, Nova Scotia.
I dusted off my kilted skirt joined friends and family for a fine meal of neeps, tatties, and haggis (and, well, a wee dram o' scotch!).
