We had our Burns Supper here last night and it was just magic. The whole pub did such a wonderful job. They had a piper outside for guests arriving and to usher in their Robert Burns impersonator and the presentation of the haggis. The Burns impersonator was incredible. Full of heart and a natural actor. The staff are so lovely and the three course meal and drinks were timed perfectly in-between the poetry performances. Overall, an incredible night. Well done, Sheep's Held! We'll be back again next year and not to mention a few more nights in between for a few pints by the cosy fire.

The highlight of last night's Burns Supper was Christopher's rendition
of Tam O'Shanter

John Mathieson, Acting Chief Executive, Lothian Health Board

Those of us who gathered in the welcoming atmosphere of Lady Stairs House were treated to an outstanding performance by 'Robert Burns' himself (alias Christopher Tait). Dressed in period costume, he gave a short 'autobiography', illustrated with some of the poems - To a Mouse, To a Louse, and Tam O'Shanter; this last in particular was a triumph, bringing out the comic and dramatic elements of the narrative.

Maria Stewart, Visitor to The Writer's Museum

Very many thanks for being such a star at our Burns Supper. Your 'Immortal Memory' was fantastic and it was amazing to watch the audience reaction when you were performing. You had everyone's complete attention - not an easy task with 345 people in the room, and many of them from foreign lands! You really were a star and it's good to know we had such an appreciative audience.
