Message of Welcome from your MC

Selkirk Grace

"Some hae meat and canna eat,
and some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat
And sae the Lord be thankit."

Address To A Haggis

"Ye Pow'rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o' fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware,
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer,
Gie her a haggis!"

SUPPER

"What tho' on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hodden grey, and a' that;
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine
A man's a man for a' that"

TEA and COFFEE

"The story of Wallace powered a Scottish prejudice in my veins which will boil along there until the flood-gates of life shut in eternal rest."

"But while we sing God save the King,
We'll ne'er forget the People!"

The Immortal Memory

"Then let us toast John Barleycorn,
Each man a glass in hand;
And may his great posterity
Ne'er fail in old Scotland!"

Toast tae the Lassies

"There's nought but care on ev'ry han',
In every hour that passes, O:
What signifies the life o' man
An' 'twere na for the lasses, O."

His blood it is frozen -
O, dreary's the night
Wi' a crazy auld man!"

And gie's a hand o' thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught
For auld lang syne!"

HASTE YE BACK! AND SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
