Роберт Бёрнс. Burns Night

Burns Night is one of the most important and fun nights of the year!

On Burn’s Night, Scottish people celebrate the life of Robert Burns, Scotland’s most famous poet.

A Burns Night supper might be formal or informal.

It is always entertaining!

First of all, the host says a few words to welcome everyone to the supper and opens the meal with a reading of ‘The Selkirk Grace’.

Guests then stand as a bagpiper pipes music to welcome the star attraction of the supper – the haggis, a sheep’s stomach stuffed with the sheep’s heart, liver and lungs.

Enjoy haggis!

Haggis

Haggis is cut with a sharp knife. Everyone then toasts the haggis by raising their glasses and shouting: ‘To the Haggis!’

Haggis served with ‘tatties and neeps’(mushed potatoes and turnip)

Cock-a-leekie(chicken and leek) soup

A traditional Scottish dessert – sherry trifle or oatcakes

There is much fun!

The evening always ends and everyone joining hands and singing Burns’ world-famous song ‘Auld Lang Syne’, meaning ‘For Times Gone by’.

The 25th January is a beautiful day for all Scottish people!
