Celebrating the Scottish bard. Burns Night
Today we 're saying a very happy birthday to the man regarded as Scotland's national poet and pioneer of the Romantic movement, Robert Burns. Perhaps you can celebrate by visiting his statue at The Birks of Aberfeldy in Perth and Kinross, as seen in today 's photo. You might also celebrate by taking part in Burns Night, a worldwide celebration that involves a lavish, multicourse dinner, a recital of Burns' 'Address to a Haggis,' and a serving of that poem's titular dish. After much discussion and several poetry readings, the night traditionally ends with guests singing the New Year's standard, 'Auld Lang Syne,' with words written by Burns himself in 1788.
