Happy #BurnsNight! Robert Burns and Scotland go together like haggis, neeps and tatties, and this famous poet was born today in 1759. In Scotland, many will be celebrating the bard through a Burns Supper. It’s a night involving poems, whisky and haggis, ending with a toast and a tune. Burns became a literary superstar at just 27, publishing hundreds of songs and lyrical poems in his lifetime including the internationally famous, Auld Lang Syne – you know the one!
