Onesie Burns Night Celebrations

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,

Great chieftain o'the pudding-race!

Aboon them a'ye tak your place,

Painch, tripe, or thairm:

Weel are ye wordy o'a grace

As lang's my arm.

'Address to a Haggis' Robert Burns

It Burn's Night! A celebration of the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burn.

The Burns Night supper are usually held on or near the poet's birthday, 25 January. The first suppers were held in memoriam at Ayrshire at the end of the 18th century by Robert Burns' friends on 21 July, the anniversary of his death. The first Burns club was founded in Greenock in 1801 by merchants born in Ayrshire. Some of them knew Burns himself, and they held the first Burns supper on what they thought was his birthday, 29 January 1802, but in 1803 they discovered  that his date of birth was 25 January 1759. Since then, suppers have been held on 25 January.

The Burns Night supper can be celebrated formally and informally, both typically include haggis (a traditional Scottish dish celebrated by Burns in Address to a Haggis), Scotch whisky, and the recitation of Burns's poetry. 

How will you be celebrating Burns Night? We'll be enjoying our nights in our Tartan Onesies.
