Keith North, Newmill, Boharm and Rothiemay Guild held its first fundraiser for the new Guild partner projects on Burns Day 2025.

Thistles and tartan for the tables were donated by a local shop, a pianist and accordionist from the local grammar school provided the music, shortbread and pancakes (also generously donated), one of the members made up a tartan quiz and another gathered raffle donations from local businesses.

Despite Storm Eowyn, the event was well attended and £750 was raised.
