Robert Burns Night Supper

Past Burns Night Fundraising Beneficiaries

Each year the ASCI Dunkeld and Birnam Comittee in consultation with the Dunkeld and Birnam Friends of Asheville, NC jointly decide on a beneficiary for a portion of the proceeds from the Robert Burns Night Supper fundraiser.  Below are some of the beneficiaries from past Burns Night fundraiser. All net proceeds from the Robert Burns Night Supper go to Asheville Sister Cities Inc. (ASCI), a 501c3 organization.

Burns Cottage Restoration

Proceeds from 2019 Burns Night made possible a $1200 donation to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway, Scotland for the restoration of the Burns Cottage. Repairs were needed to the thatched roof, plaster walls and chimney of Burn’s birthplace. This donation helped to raise the urgently needed £100,000 to carry out thatching, limewashing, and weatherproofing.
2019 Proceeds

Niel Gow Memorial

Proceeds from 2020 Burns Night made possible a $1200 donation to the Niel Gow bronze statue memorial in Dunkeld completed in 2020. Niel Gow (1727–1807) was the most famous Scottish fiddler of the eighteenth century. Many of Niel Gow’s compositions are still played today at ceilidhs and country dances. The annual Niel Gow Fiddle Festival takes place every March in Dunkeld and Birnam celebrating the life and music of Gow.
2020 Proceeds

Birnam Arts

Proceeds from 2021 virtual Burns Night made possible a $1200 donation to Birnam Arts. Since its founding in 1880 as a community facility for 'education and entertainment', Birnam Arts has been a vibrant arts center, delivering dynamic arts and community programs.
2021 Proceeds

Dunkeld Community Archive

Proceeds from 2023 Burns Night made possible $2000 (£1620) donation to support the work of the Dunkeld Community Archives. The archive plays crucial role in helping Dunkeld's stories live on to inspire future generations and to remain an important and relevant part of people’s lives – today and long into the future.
