Bridgeton Burns Club Bachelors Club at
Tarbolton Burns Supper 17th Feb 2012
|
|
PiggeryBrae were delighted to be invited along to Bridgeton Burns Club 'special' Burns Supper being held in
the famous Bachelors' Club. I have attended numerous Burns Suppers but none can compare with this one.
It is the best one I have attended, atmosphere, drama, fellowship, laughter and music .... it had it all.

The
Bachelors' Club is a National Trust for Scotland museum located at 1
Sandgate Street, Tarbolton, KA5 5RB. The upstairs room was the largest
in Tarbolton and was used for a number of social events. It was
probably the first rural debating society in Scotland and the prototype
for many Burns Clubs the world over.
Robert
Burns co-founded the Tarbolton Bachelors’ Club in this curious
red-shuttered, thatched 17th-century house. It was here that he learned
to dance, became a freemason and created a men-only debating society.
Bachelors’
Club is a must-see for Burns fans and gives a rare insight into the
secrets of male social life of the age. Downstairs is an 18th-century
living space, while upstairs are the meeting rooms once used by Burns
and his friends.
