Calendar

Join the Roanoke Valley Scottish Society in the Salem Civic Center's community room for an evening celebrating the life of Scotland's most famous poet, the incomparable Robert Burns.

A haggis will be addressed and served with tatties and neeps, plated dinner served, toasts given, the Immortal Memory presented by Ian Fraser, and much more! Dinner menu includes salad with quartered scotch egg (made with turkey sausage), salmon in whisky sauce, steak pie, buttery peas, cabbage with onions, dinner rolls, and sticky toffee pudding. Music by the Appalachian Piping Academy and the Roanoke Traditional Session. The Floyd Historical Dancers will perform a reel and a strathspey before teaching simple Scottish Country Dances to any who will join.

Feel free to bring items for the silent auction, or just have fun bidding. In addition to Highland Park 12 single malt whisky provided, there will be a cash bar. Recommended attire is Highland formal or black tie.
