About Town: Haggis, kilts, drams, broth and pipes at Burns Night

The Scots were out in force for the St Andrew’s Society of Denmark’s celebration of Burns Night on Saturday, and who better to provide the evening with a dose of culture than Ian Burns (bottom left), the Scottish founder and main contributor of That Theatre.
