Burns Night

Around the world tributes to Robert Burns are held through the ritual of the Burns Supper. Originally started a few years after his death in 1801 by a group of his friends and acquaintances at Burns Cottage in Alloway, to honor his memory, the suppers are now celebrated annually on the date of his birth, 25th January.

An evening centred on a fine fat haggis, with recitation and singing of Burns's works and a toast in verse, to the memory of their friend and hero.
