Burns night

Burns night is a celebration of Rabbie (Robert) Burns, a famous poet and lyricist. It is celebrated on the 25th of January and people typically eat Haggis, Neeps, and tatties (Haggis is a kind of meat, neeps are turnips and tatties are just potatoes). People will read his work, and often bigger events will have a dedicated person to read ‘The Selkirk Grace’- one of his more famous poems.
