This wonderful virtual celebration of Robert Burns presented by singer Fiona Kennedy features a splendid compilation of performances and readings, all recorded at home, individually by students, staff, alumni and very special guests including Chancellor of the University HRH The Duchess of Rothesay. The event also features alumnus Iain Glen, alumna Laura Main, actor John Bett, and Craig Wilson, 'The Kilted Chef'. We also hear the fabulous voices of students and alumni including Iona Rae and Peter MacPherson as well as a fantastic father-daughter performance from George and Georgia-May Drennan. The haggis will be addressed by Mark Stephen and Norman Fiddes will feature on bagpipes. A toast to Robert Burns will be made by Jim Brown MBE and there will be reflections on Aberdeen from Professor James N'Dow.
