Scots affiliated warship marks Burns Night
THE Royal Navy warship HMS Sutherland marked Burns Night in style.
To celebrate the event, celebrating the life and works of the late Scottish poet, Robert Burns, HMS Sutherland, ‘Scotland’s’ fighting frigate, hosted a Scottish-themed meal for its ship’s company.
Chef Tom Pedley said: “We cooked up popular Scottish dishes such as haggis, neeps & tatties and Dundee cake to tie in with the occasion, much to the delight of the Scottish ratings on board.’’
The ship’s strong Scottish connections include affiliations with the northern Scottish County of Sutherland and the 4th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland.
