Any information would be appreciated.

The excitement is mounting and many more countries have now signed up to take part from all over the globe. It's not too late to raise a glass! All the very best.

It would be great if you could find a minute to read about our “Worldwide Toast to Robert Burns.” Our web-site www.worldwidetoasttorobertburns.com has been specifically designed to co-ordinate a Worldwide Toast in honour of Burns to celebrate his 250th Anniversary. The site will help us to co-ordinate all of the toasts from around the world and make this a historic event on behalf of Burns! So far, the response that we have received to our Worldwide Toast idea has been overwhelming and in only a very short time our web-site has been visited by no less than 67 countries, in fact, every continent except Antarctica (and we are working on that one!!). I had always known that Burns and Scotland were celebrated around the globe but I never realised to what an extent! To help us make it work, it would be just great if you could sign up for our newsletters at www.worldwidetoasttorobertburns.com to keep up to date with our progress and to please pass on the word and ask your friends and relatives to sign up too and, of course, to take part! It really is easy since all you need to do is raise a glass, count the numbers and afterwards complete a brief form on the web-site to record your numbers. It is as simple as that. Finally, if you happen to have time to have a look at the web-site, then you will also see that we have introduced some YouTube footage. Please excuse my Falkirk accent but we hope that they will prove of interest especially to all of the Scottish Societies abroad who are so far away but hold Scotland so close to their hearts. Cheers the now and kind regards. Julie & Steve Greetings from a wet and wintery day here in Falkirk, Central Scotland!
