RESIDENTS in Dorset care homes celebrated Burns Night with a variety of activities.
In line with annual tradition, poetry recitals were the order of the day and meals included haggis, neeps and tatties.
At Avon Cliff in Bournemouth, Companionship Team Members Brian Knight and Rebecca Osborne wore kilts with their PPE and performed Highland dancing together.
Brian also did a tour of the home calling at residents’ bedrooms to read out selections of Burns’ poetry.
Resident Ray Paice said: "It was very amusing and got us into the spirit of the day."
Scottish celebrations also took place at Amberwood House in Ferndown.
Companionship Team Leader, Kirsty Richmond Cole said: "We had a whole afternoon consisting of all things Scottish.
"We held a quiz to test everyone’s knowledge of Burns and invited residents to sample a range of whiskies and shortbread.
"We discussed how whisky is made and where famous malts originate from."
