REFUGEES and asylum seekers living in Glasgow came together to celebrate Scottish heritage.

Dozens of people attended the Uniting Nations in Scotland's (UNIS) belated Robert Burns night.

It was held in the Findlay Church in Glasgow's St George's Cross last Saturday.

Children's entertainer Giggles delighted the youngsters with her party tricks.

There was also readings of poems, dances from different parts of the world and live music.

Ahlam Souidi, one of the UNIS coordinators, called it a "wonderful and unforgettable event".

She said: "Many of the refugees have recently arrived in Glasgow and it was the first time for them to discover the Scottish heritage through our Robert Burns night."

The party-goers were also able to discover and try on different tartans.

The event was supported by the Big Lottery Fund and the Glasgow Campaign to Welcome Refugees, who helped towards a contribution for children's toys.

UNIS is also supported by Police Scotland, the Scottish Refugee Council, International Women's Group, Inner Circle Group and Findlay Church.

The group now has more than 50 members from all over the world, including war-torn Syria.
