Happy Burn's Night!!

Happy Burns' night everyone! This may be a celebration which you may not have heard about before, but here it's a popular day to remember the life of the Scottish poet Robert Burns. It is very common for people to come together for a late meal or supper, which consists of Scottish broth (soup) and the Scottish delicacy Haggis. Then there is a recital of the Burns' poem "Address to a Haggis", which if you notice is written in the Scottish dialect!

Robert Burns is a very important figure not only in Scotland but worldwide. He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic Movement, and after his death became a huge cultural icon of Scotland. He is most well known for composing 'Auld Lang Syne', which is traditionally sung as the clock strikes midnight on New Years Day!
