I have the ancestry, but I don't claim to be. Unless I was born there or had Scottish relatives I think it would be a bit of a bold claim.
I do love the place though.
I'm not sure I've tried haggis in a toasty, but I'd be willing to try

Many years ago I happened to be in Motherwell on Burns, night staying in a town centre hotel.
We decided on that special night we would have to have a traditional Scottish meal. So we went to the Ashokta Tandoori for a vindaloo. Everybody who was out looked pissed and that's all I remember about it.

As I post annually on the Burns Night thread I shall not be celebrating tonight as I will be adopting the position of a true Scotsman and I shall wait until the Macsweens haggis is adorned with a yellow sticker before I buy.

I don't mind haggis but to have it as a celebration dinner is a bit odd like. Lived up here 20 years and still can't get my head round it.
Prince Charles is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full
of patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and greets one.
The patient replies:
“Fair fa your honest sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin race,
Aboon them a ye take yer place, Painch, tripe or thairm, As langs my
airm.”
HRH is confused, so he just smiles and moves on to the next patient.
The patient responds:
“Some hae meat an canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae
meat an we can eat, So let the Lord be thankit.”
Even more confused, the Prince moves on to the next patient, who
immediately begins to chant:
“Wee sleekit, cowerin, timrous beasty, O the panic in thy breasty,
Thou needna start awa sae hastie, Wi bickering brattle.”
Now seriously troubled, Charles turns to the accompanying doctor and
asks, “Is this a psychiatric ward?”
The doctor says "No, it's the Burns Unit."

Seems a lot of effort when you’re not Scottish
Whatever makes you happy though. Enjoy.
Lived in Scotland since I was a bairn, hate haggis. Might get some of the veggie stuff from tesco later, it's actually very tasty.
Had mine yesterday while the young un was round. Haven't tried it with whiskey yet. Mebbes next year.

I also have a kilt and ghillie shirt.
If I'm doing this, I'm doing it properly
Whisky sauce, marra. Although a whisky on the side wouldn't go amiss
Interesting...
