Burns Night

Wednesday 25th January is Burns Night when people all over the world celebrate the life and work of Scottish poet Robert Burns by holding special Burns Night Suppers. Robert Burns was born on the 25th January 1759, by the time he died in 1796 he had written many poems in the Scots dialect including: Tam o' Shanter, Tae a mouse, Aye fond kiss, Auld lang syne and Aman's a man for a' that.
The display in the Library focuses on the poem Aye fond kiss but also provides lots of inspiration for food to have at a Burns Supper, including a lovely recipe for making haggis!
