Robert Burns (1759-1796)

Poet and songwriter, Burns wrote hundreds of enduring homages to Scottish life and beyond in song and poetry.

Robert Burns' birthday is now celebrated the world over as Robbie Burns Night with special suppers of cock-a-leekie soup, haggis, and typsy laird for dessert. Guests Address the Haggis, Toast the Lasses with Whiskey, and recite his poems and sing his songs. Burns Auld Lang Syne is still sung to celebrate the New Year and Scottish Hogmany (last day of the year).
