Burns' Night

#1 Post by Bunnylump » Sat Jan 19, 2013 12:28 pm

I've pinched bits of a quiz all about Scotland from various places on the internet, plus a picture round (identify the Scottish landmark type thing), made a composite Scotsman and Scots lass from various Scottish celebrities, made a lyrics round with bits from songs made by Scottish bands and have found a link to a "guess the song being played on bagpipes". I also have the words to the "Address to a Haggis".

If anyone would like a copy of any of those, let me know!

Well done to Cenwulf who has correctly identified the missing Scots.

Gosh I'm impressed! :shock: I've identified one piece so far. :roll:

But identifying pictures of people has never been my strong point. :(

To be fair, he didn't get them all, but got enough to find the answers.

I think I shall have to do some googling. Which probably isn't in the spirit of the puzzle. :oops: Will your Burns night friends have internet access?
