Young and old gather in Langholm and Gilnockie to celebrate the birth of Scotland’s Bard
The Community Burns Supper held in the Buccleuch Centre last Saturday, was a resounding success. The event was due to be held on Friday, 24th January but the previous day, staff regrettably announced that it would have to be postponed because of Storm Éowyn.
