Get ready to raise a glass to Robert Burns, as we dive into the spirit of Burns Night! Each year on January 25, Scotland lights up in celebration of its national poet, and what better place to take part in the festivities than where it all began? The Burns National Heritage Park is located in Alloway, Ayrshire–the birthplace of Rabbie himself. From his charming cottage to the museum that holds his precious works to the Brig o" Doon, a bridge made famous from his poem "Tam o" Shanter", the park has a lot to offer. But, come Burns Night, the place transforms. We"re talking about hearty plates of haggis, neeps and tatties, the unmistakable skirl of bagpipes and people coming together with a dram or two, raising a toast to the man of the hour. So, dust off your poetry books, polish your best shoes and join the belter from near or afar. Lang may yer lum reek!
