It’s 2024, and it is time for Scotland to celebrate our most beloved poet Robert Burns, also known as Rabbie Burns. This year marks the 264th anniversary of his birth, so we are planning an especially grand celebration for Burns Night 2024 on the 25th January.
We will be celebrating with food that he loved to eat, drink that he enjoyed drinking (and writing poetry about), and music that was inspired by him throughout history. So let’s get started on discovering more about Burns Night and what it stands for especially with our Scottish shortbread fingers!!
Robert Burns is Scotland’s national poet who lived between 1759 and 1796. He is most famous poem is “Auld Lang Syne”, which we sing at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. His poetry is often about the everyday life of people in Scotland, and he is known for capturing the spirit of the country in his words. During his lifetime, he wrote over 600 poems and songs.
