A Wee man called Rabbie Burns




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!
