JP Fell Robert Burns Celebration Night

Jan 24, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

It's an annual event that never fails to impress. North Van's JP Fell Armouries was the place to find bagpipers, drummers, scotch and haggis last weekend as local dignitaries, guests and friends came to toast the Scottish Baird himself, Robert Burns. A celebration like no other, the occasion calls for dancing and revelry in honour of the "ploughman poet" whose immortal words are still echoed in our conversations to this day.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
