Banner Contest - Dress Scottish

scottish flag Dress Scottish in honour of Burns Night! scottish flag

Burns Night is celebrated all over the world on 25th January. Robert (Rabbie) Burns was a Scottish poet 1759-1796, born a poor farmer and is now recognised as one of the world’s greatest poets. Auld Lang Syne, sung at New Year’s, farewells, weddings… is one of his!

So in honour of his birthday, here is your opportunity to dress Scottish again!

Think bagpipes, highlands, Burns himself, the poems, farming, haggis, and anything else that reminds of you Scotland!

Themed banners will be available in the shops or you can ask your favourite Empire Artist to custom-design one specially for you. Wear your Scottish banners on the site and enter your favourite/s in the contest!
