So
the world tomorrow the 25th of January will be celebrating a birthday.
That
of Robert Burns, Scotland’s best-loved son. His inspiring poetry has influenced
thousands of people, some of which don’t even know it.
No
matter which corner of the world you come from, you’ve raised your voice in a
chorus of Auld Lang Syne originally a poem and known under a different title.
Burns left a legacy celebrating the immortal memory of Robert ‘Rabbie’ Burns
has become an institution in Scotland and for the Jocks who are scattered
around the world. Celebrating what has become known as Burns Night was first created
in 1801. This then a club was established to commemorate the life and works of
the Bard by reciting his poetry; something which has been carried on to this
day. So, whether you’re into a wee bit of poetry or your there for the haggis,
neeps and tatties, I hope you enjoy your Burns Night where ever it may be.
Sláinte
Mhath!
