I was about to add that "other venues, dates and prices are available" after seeing that it is £35 or £40 at the ROSL. Then I also saw it says "Tickets £35; guests £40." and none of us are members, so we may not even be eligible. That is on 31st January 2015 19:00

The Scottish Cafe ceilidh is fully booked for the 24th, so they are doing a repeat on the 25th, and that is selling fast too. We may be unlucky.

I'll have a look around for other places.

elegran every one of these choices for Burns night looks fabulous. Would you be talking about the Sat or Sunday please let me know. My DD has asked me to keep the 24th January free because she has a Christmas surprise for me on that date and I'm unsure if it'll take me over into the 25th. I'll have to hold fast with Burns night for the moment however I should hear by the 25th December. You're a marvel at organising these events and I'll let you know as soon as. smile

Nothing yet planned in Edinburgh for January but here are a couple of suggestions:-

1) A repeat of our DIY Burns lunch chez Elegran, which seemed to go down well.

2) A Burns supper out, for instance at Tthe Scottish Restaurant and Cafe at the Gallery at the mound where we have met before, complete with ceilidh. Or somewhere similar.

3) Burns Supper at ROSL (another familiar place to meet) This one has some bigwigs and toasts "After a welcome drink, tuck into the traditional three-course meal, including wine and a glass of whisky, with the Immortal Memory proposed by Rt Rev Brian Smith, former Bishop of Edinburgh. The Toast to the Lassies will be given by the Consul General of Ireland, Pat Bourne, and the reply by Consul General of the USA, Zoja D Bazarnic. "
