The Scotland team was honoured to attend the Burns at the Balmoral event on Friday evening in aid of the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. The foundation, established in 2017, supports research and provides assistance for MND (Motor Neurone Disease). It honours the legacy of the legendary Scottish rugby player Doddie Weir, who sadly passed away in 2022.

The 5-star The Balmoral, a Rocco Forte Hotel , a true Edinburgh landmark, provided a magnificent setting for the evening. A Burns Night wouldn’t be complete without a traditional ceilidh—a lively celebration of highland dancing in groups or pairs.

Burns Night celebrates the life and works of Robert Burns, the renowned poet from Ayrshire. Known for his famous works such as Auld Lang Syne and Address to the Haggis, the evening featured a recital of the latter following the ceremonial piping of the haggis into the room.
