Burns Night 25 Jan 2026

Each January 25, Scots and friends around the world raise a toast to Robert Burns, Scotland"s beloved national poet. A Burns Night supper blends warmth and wit: the centrepiece is haggis, a savoury pudding made from minced meat, oats and spices, served with neeps (mashed turnips) and tatties (mashed potatoes). Add plenty of good cheer, readings of Burns"s verse and a dram of whisky, and you have a celebration that ends with a rousing chorus of "Auld Lang Syne."
