More than two centuries ago Robert Burns penned the words of Auld Lang Syne at Ellisland Farm – and they once again rang out on Hogmanay.

A special event was made possible thanks to funding from Annandale and Nithsdale Community Benefit Association, The Holywood Trust and Museums Galleries Scotland.

Joan McAlpine, business manager of the Robert Burns Ellisland Trust, said: “Tickets flew out the door after we slashed prices to take account of the cost of living crisis. “Folk of all ages enjoyed themselves and it was especially lovely to see families bring in the bells together here. “People shared tables and made new friends. “It was like being at your auntie’s hoose – in this case Auntie Jean and Uncle Rabbie.” Entertainment in the Ellisland barn included local trad band Boglemufty who ensured that the dance floor was packed for Strip the Willow, Gay Gordons and more.

The celebrations also featured traditional Hogmanay fare with clootie dumpling made by Crumbs bakery in Dumfries. And the highlight of the evening was definitely when everyone joined hands for Auld Lang Syne.
