Monday 19th January
We’re kicking off this Monthly Roundup with our Cordite Club. It was fantastic to have them back at the museum and we were delighted to welcome a couple of new members too.
This week they had a Burns Night celebration where they had:
- Haggis, neeps and tatties followed by shortbread with tea or coffee.
- A few rounds of card bingo.
- A excellent talk about Robert Burns in the local area from Tom, our Youth and Community Engagement Officer.
Below are a couple of photos from Cordite Club.
Today also marked our return of our FREE Arts and Crafts Club for 7 to 11 year olds. A huge thank you to Wendy for making this possible.

Brilliant to have a group visit to The Devil’s Porridge Museum. They also stayed for lunch with a three course Burns Supper including Lentil Soup, followed by Haggis, Neeps and Tatties and then Shortbread for afters. It was lovely to have them at The Devil’s Porridge Museum.
Please remember to book your group visit and any food you would like in advance if you are planning on coming to The Devil’s Porridge Museum.

Friday 24th January
Our Burns Night took place today, as well as a traditional three course meal (with haggis from our local butchers, Johnstone’s in Annan). We think our volunteers and catering staff did an amazing job on the night too (even if we do say so ourselves 
).
Additionally, we were proud to be joined by Highland Hustle with Charley for some outstanding Highland Dancing. Plus our volunteer Scott played the bagpipes.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped with this and those who joined us. We hope you all enjoyed your evening as much as we did!
