A wee bit of Scotland right here in Duplin County

Country Squire Restaurant and Winery owner Iris Lennon may be an ocean away from her native Scotland, but a bit of her homeland comes to Duplin County every year, with the annual Robert Burns Supper.

The supper provides a chance for locals to experience Scottish culture through food, the written word, music, and plenty of men in kilts and tartans. Robert Burns is considered Scotland’s national poet, and a working man who fought to preserve Scottish culture until his untimely death at the age of 37 in 1796.

His life is celebrated throughout the world with the Robert Burns Supper, and Duplin County’s Country Squire has hosted the event for the past two decades.
