Organised by Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus (SBH) Scotland, the lively celebration paid homage to the great Scottish bard Robert Burns, while raising awareness for the charity’s vital cause.

Kick-starting the Burns Night celebrations, students from Theatre College of Scotland performed a medley of traditional Scottish songs including Caledonia and Flower of Scotland to delighted onlookers whilst SBH Scotland representatives collected donations from generous shoppers. Families who are supported by the specialist charity were also in attendance to join in the fun.

Sean Carr, who attended the flash mob with his son Andrew said, “We were delighted to be involved today. Since Andrew’s spina bifida diagnosis at our 20 week scan, SBH Scotland have been a big part of our lives. They brought positivity when we felt devastated and they have given Andrew confidence in his own abilities. It doesn’t matter that he has to use a wheelchair and walking sticks because with SBH Scotland he knows he’s not alone, he’s not the only one; we have a community of support.”
