JP Fell Robert burns Night

January 25, 2003

By Catherine Barr

 

SATURDAY was also the day to raise a glass, a wee dram if you will, to that Scottish Baird Robert Burns. The celebrated poet was honoured at North Van's JP Fell Armouries with a gala dinner complete with bagpipes and drums, haggis and scotch whiskey.
