Burns Night

January 25, 2023

Every year Scotland celebrates Burns night on the 25^th of January, to commemorate the life of Robert Burns who was born on 25^th January 1759. He was a brilliant poet, and his most famous poem was Auld Lang Syne which gets sung every New Year’s Eve traditionally at midnight on 31^st December.

The famous dish that gets served is a traditional Haggis (don’t ask what it is, just try it first!), Neeps (turnip) and Tatties (Potatoes) relating to Robert’s poem “Address to a Haggis”, a dish that was served up by Robert’s friends who celebrated 5 years of his passing and the dish has lived on ever since, simmered down with a few drams of Whisky.
