Preparing for Robbie Burns night. A surprise for the customers in John Lewis department store, as a haggis and whiskey were lead by a piper through the store and then everyone was invited to sample both in the food hall.
The whiskey was tempting but I'm not so sure about that haggis.
It is a tradition, I'm told, to celebrate the Baird's birthday with a supper and a spot of poetry reading

Do try it - it is so delicious, peppery and savoury!
I had to find out what haggis was—no thank you. Everything else about this store event sounds good, though.
LOvely old customs. I have to find out what haggis is.The man looks great in his Scottish outfit.
WHISKY does NOT have an 'e.'
Try this for info.

Great idea - I'd have had the haggis and declined the whisky, though.
Never heard of it... I learn something new every day!
Haggis is super-tasty! Just don't think what it's actually made of...
What a fun encounter but, I think I'd pass on the haggis too.
I'd think this was a perfect opportunity to give it a try. If it tastes great it's a big discovery. if the the offal is awful you have a shot of whisky to (quite effectively) kill the taste. A great Scotch will be a treat, and a lousy one will just taste like Listerine. Win-win.
This would have been great fun. I love bagpipes. Haggis? Maybe I would have given it to someone nearby.
Look att all the people ringing the balcony.
Dear English, what is Baird?
It's a lovely tradition, though haggis is a stumbling block for me...poetry only:)
i tried the haggis , it's worthit ;)
This is a scene never seen in Sweden.
I have tasted HAGGIS in Stavanger, made by some Scottish people.
I always thought I could not eat it, but seriously it was worth trying!:)
