Within the grounds of the Crichton Campus, the stunning Easterbrook Hall played host to a most memorable celebration of the life and work of Robert Burns. This truly was a Burns Supper of the highest calibre, chaired by president of The Robert Burns World Federation - Jim Gibson.

The organisation of this event was meticulous in every detail thanks to the huge effort of Shirley Bell, Chief Executive, and Margaret Craig, who co-ordinates the administration of The Federation.
