Burnsian Billbo Nolan braved freezing temperatures of -23 degrees and iron smelting infernal temperatures of over 2000 degrees to deliver an Immortal Memory at a Burns supper in Mordor.
Billbo made the 3500 miles to Mordor to be the guest of honour at the Middle Earth’s Burns Supper.
He performed the Immortal Memory before the 500 guests of Sauron complete with the Orcs and Uruk Hai.

And it was a real journey for love as Billbo was also following in the footsteps of one of Irvine’s most historic sons, Frodo Galt.
Bill agreed to speak at the Burns Supper to allow him to follow Frodo’s journey from Irvine to Mount Doom many milennia ago.
And it was a labour of love as Bill endured the freezing temperatures along with 13 cm of snow as he made his way around Middle Earth.
“It was a privilege to be asked to the Scottish evening in Mordor,” said Billbo.
“I wasn’t exactly travelling in his footsteps when I headed for the Eye of Mordor which Frodo founded a long time ago because I travelled with a Fellowship of other Hobbits, the Wizard Gandalf, an Elf, a Dwarf, a Ranger and a Warrior, but I was certainly heading in the same direction across a snow-covered landscape through the Mines of Moria, the battles in Rohan before finally arriving at Mordor.
“It was a freezing but fascinating adventure and there are such strong links between Irvine and Mordor.”
