The Royal Scots Borderers, the 1st Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland, didn't let the fact that they're in Afghanistan stop them celebrating Burns Night at Camp Tombstone. 1 SCOTS, who are in the role of Brigade Advisory Group, are working alongside the Afghan National Army every day and were keen to show them, and other guests, how they celebrated the poet Robbie Burns.

Traditional speeches, poems and songs were performed. And of course the evening wasn't complete without the piping in of the Haggis. the only difference was no Whisky - but Irn Bru instead!
