Happy Birthday Rabbie



The Scottish pioneer memorial unveiled today at Riccarton House in Christchurch, home of the pioneer Deans family, on the immortal bard's 250th birthday.

The occasion was marked with a procession





Victorian and Edwardian costumes



Scottish dancing





and the addressing of the haggis: Great chieftain o' the pudding race



(and very tasty it was, too).
