Burns Night

Join Bonnie Scotland on this special night of celebration with a wee dram and a spot o' haggis!

Known in medieval Celtic culture as a story teller, verse maker and composer, the word ‘Bard’ has become synonymous with the world’s greatest poets. However, few are as celebrated as Scotland’s own ‘National Bard’, Robert Burns, whose country and people pay tribute to on 25th January each year. The first Burns supper was held in 1801 and in the 200+ years since then new traditions have been added, but the sentiment remains the same: to pay tribute to this revered national poet. The centrepiece of any good Burns Supper menu is the iconic haggis, or as the bard himself described it, the 'great chieftain o' the puddin'-race'. So whether you know your 'Auld Lang Syne' from your 'Tam O'Shanter' or you would like to learn more, Burns Night is a celebration for all that you will never forget
