A #CheerstoRabbie Burns in Galicia // Un brindis por Rabbie Burns #BurnsNights2018 #BurnsNight #RabbieBurns

Todos os anos celebramos en Compostela a Noite de Rabbie Burns, o insigne e famoso bardo escocés. 
Esta celebración é unha arraigada tradición en Escocia e arredor do mundo onde hai comunidade escocesa. 
Non pode faltar nesta noite o Haggis, o whisky e a poesía e cancións de Rabbie Burns, que na nosa casa non só se recitan en Scots (lingua escocesa) senón tamén en galego. 
Aquí vos deixo unha pequena mostra da nosa humilde celebración

Journey to Yes #20: Nina and Craig say YES #Scotland #Indyref2 #Brexit via @PhantomPower14



Nina and Craig say Yes. North-East England voted emphatically to leave the European Union despite being a region that benefits most from EU trade and funding. The Brexit vote also triggered a rise in anti-immigrant attitudes and rethink for specialist nurses Nina and Craig about where to spend their future. Nina, a Danish EU National, and Craig were deeply impressed by the Scotland's pro-EU values and they decided to move north. Nina and Craig reflect on the damaging impact of Brexit on the NHS, the 'Great British' brand, anti-English Scots and why Scotland must now break free of the union to remain a prosperous, open and independent nation in the EU.
20th in a series.
We are looking for people to get involved in this series - now is the time to speak out and share your Journey to Yes story.
