A piper usually plays traditional Scottish tunes such as Auld Lang Syne until the high table is ready to be seated.  After the general address and welcome it is tradition for the haggis to be piped in and for guests to clap along until the haggis reaches the table.

Wherever you are around the world we hope you have a great Burns Night!
