Burns Family Crafternoon

About Burns Family Crafternoon

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great Chieftain o' the Puddin-race!

Robert Burns has forever been associated with the haggis, with Burns Suppers around the world opening with these well-known lines from 'Address to a Haggis'.

In this special crafternoon on Burns' birthday, we're celebrating that uniquely Scottish creature – the haggis! We'll show you how to make your own pom-pom haggis and get creative with making a collage haggis picture.

Drop-in to the National Library of Scotland at Kelvin Hall on Saturday 25th January, anytime between 1pm and 4pm to take part in this activity. There is no need to book.
