Scotland’s National Poet
The life of Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet, is celebrated every year on the 25th January. Burns was a noted raconteur and wordsmith of the highest order. The first Burns supper was organised by his friends after his death in 1796 – a tradition that continues to this day. Be it a smart, formal affair or relaxed family gathering, the star of any Burns Supper is the Haggis.

You can server whatever you fancy with your haggis on Burns Night, but a traditional menu would look something like this:

(creamed potatoes and mashed swede).
