Young Scot celebrated all things Burns and Scottish on the 22nd January with a fun-filled night of music, entertainment, food and plenty more, reflecting Scotland's rich cultural diversity.
Burns Resurrection saw over 650 young people, aged 12 - 18, from across Scotland descend upon Edinburgh's Corn Exchange to celebrate the year of Homecoming, which marks 250 years since the birth of Scotland's Bard Rabbie Burns.
Scotland's young people danced their socks off with music from The Dykeenies, rocking four-piece ceilidh band Kilter and a fusion of Indian and Scottish sounds from The Tartan Dholies.
There was comedy from Still Game's Sanjeev Kohli, poetry from Scotland's coolest wordsmith, Jenny Lindsay, dance from b-boy crew the Flyin' Jalapenos and a spectacular appearance from beatboxing and bagpipes duo Hip Hop Scotch.
There was a range of "tartan tapas" available, food reflecting Scotland's rich ethnic mix, with dishes from India, Poland, Italy and the Orient, as well as more traditional Scottish fare.
Roseanne Allison (Edinburgh), said: All the young people from the Royal Blind School had a fantastic time at the Burns Resurrection night last night. Thank you to all of the Young Scot team for their hospitality and sensitive assistance to the staff and young people.
The night, supported by the Scottish Government, was packed with plenty to help young people party the night away.
