Smoking kippers was just one of the strange sites in Mauchline yesterday as they celebrated their connection with Scotland's bard, Robert Burns. The streets were full of activity and, in the church, there was an entertaining pageant recalling some of Burns friends and companions on the way, all wonderfully accompanied by music from Borealis. I'm off to the parish church this morning, where Burns regularly appeared before Session to account for the vagaries of his lifestyle. I'm sure today will be just as exciting!
