Burns Night Celebrations
Scotland’s favourite son, Robert Burns (25 January 1759 - 21 July 1796) was born
in Alloway, Ayrshire. He was the eldest of seven children born to William Burnes and
Agnes Broun. Each year Scotland’s national poet is remembered on his birthday
with celebration suppers, also known as Burns Night. Celebrations take place
across the world. On the menu there will of course be haggis, and to toast the Bard
. . there has to be the finest of Scotch whisky. The festivities will include recitals of
the Selkirk Grace, and Address to a Haggis.
Here is a small wordsearch for you to enjoy while relaxing with a wee dram or two
of your own favourite whisky . . . mine by the way is the single malt Glenmorangie
produced at their distillery between Dornoch and Tain.
