Staff at a care home in Bo’ness
in the central lowlands of Scotland, got out a drop of the hard stuff to get
its residents in the party mood to celebrate the birth of poet Robert Burns on
25 January.
The Burns night in Woodlands care
home dished up an evening with a truly Scottish flavour, with residents in high
spirits enjoying sing-a-longs and a patriotic feast.
Scotch broth for party-goers was
followed by a main course of haggis, neeps and tatties or square sausage
stovies. For dessert, Scottish tablet ice cream, with shortbread and even a
"wee dram" was on offer.
Senior care assistant, Jill
Moffat believes said the importance of celebrating Burns Night at the care
home, run by Bield Housing & Care, can be beneficial for residents.
She said: "Events like these
give the tenants the chance to do something out of their normal routine and
everyone thoroughly enjoyed celebrating such a patriotic event.
“And the tenants all got to sing
a song or two.”
After the meal, residents took
part in a Scottish-themed quiz followed a lively sing song of Auld Lang Syne.
