Videos from Iconic Burns

The first one shows Tam o'Shanter on the Auld Brig on his mare, Maggie, with the witch grabbing her tail. Look for Burns' face on the side of the bridge - it was done with fireworks and gradually appeared - totally amazing!




The fireworks were really good (as you'll see in the 2nd video) - and synchronised with the music. At one point there was a lone piper (I think on top of the Burns Monument) playing A Man's A Man which was very atmospheric.

Some photos from the Iconic Burns event in Alloway - the official start to Scotland's Year of Homecoming. This is a quick taster - more to follow in coming days.

Some amzing things can be done with lights!
