News at Eleven: A torchlit procession led by a giant

illuminated sculpture of Tam O'Shanter marched from Robert Burns' birthplace in Alloway to the auld Brig O'Doon on Saturday night (24th January) as part of the celebrations for the poet's 250th anniversary.

Having watched scenes of the poet's birth through the windows of the old cottage, the procession, led by pipers and drummers, paused under a series of arches en route which lit up as the procession arrived.
