What is Burns Night?

Burns Night is a celebration which is held to remember the Scottish poet, Robert Burns. It takes place either on or near his birthday, which is January 25th.

Today, it is celebrated by Scottish people all over the world, often by way of eating a supper which includes a haggis, neeps and tatties.  A favoured drink on Burns Night is whisky.  Selections of Burns’ poetry are often read out loud, which given his rhythmic style and wonderful talent for conjuring up images full of emotion, is a real treat.

If you’ve never been to a Burns Night supper, it’s a fantastic evening of poetry, food, and Scottish culture. If you get the chance to attend, don’t miss out!
