Burns Supper The Scottish Brussels community celebrate the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burns, the author of many Scots poems. The suppers are normally held on or near the poet's birthday, 25 January. As most Burns Suppers Haggis is served.

To let it all down lots of whisky.

That the European Council, moved to new premises not far away and the old council building, Charlemagne, got a facelift and so much more. Editing the many photographs one place popped up again and again "The Corner Table!.
