Burns Night commemorates the life of the bard (poet) Robert Burns, who was born on January 25, 1759.
The day also celebrates Burns’ contribution to Scottish culture. Burns’ best-known work is “Auld Lang Syne”.
We were at the Edinburgh Tattoo for this performance but I didn’t take this video.
Haggis, neeps and tatties (turnips and potatoes) are traditionally eaten in Scotland on Burns Night with a dessert of cranachan.
Bringing in the haggis and addressing it (of course)
I took this picture in a grocery store in Aviemore, Scotland.
I have never had haggis and intend never to have any! Not even haggis-flavored potato chips or pizza.
