Burns Night \u2013 25th January 2020 \u2013 By Luna<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Burns Night<\/strong> is here again! But what is Burns Night? Where does it come from and what is it all about<\/strong>? Around the world on New Year\u2019s Eve (called\u00a0Hogmanay<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in Scotland), it is tradition to sing the popular song\u00a0Auld Langs Syne<\/strong><\/a>. This poem set to a traditional folk song bids farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight. What is less known is who wrote this poem. The poem was written by Scottish poet\u00a0Robert (Rabbie) Burns<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

History and Traditions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Burns was born on\u00a025<\/strong>th<\/strong>\u00a0January<\/strong>\u00a01759 in Alloway, Scotland, his parents were tenant farmers. Education was important in the Burns household and Rabbie became an avid reader. The big influences were the romantic<\/strong> movement and relationships<\/strong> with the opposite sex. By the age of 27, Burns had published his first collection of poetry which received sensational success in Scotland. Burns went on to write many pieces that addressed the political and civil issues of the country and beyond.<\/p>\n

Today the influence of Burns remains strong in Scottish literature. On\u00a025<\/strong>th<\/strong>\u00a0January<\/strong> (Burns\u2019 birthday) each year in Scotland, there is a celebration of his life and contribution to Scottish culture. These annual events can be a formal celebration as a ceilidh<\/strong><\/a>, which is a social gathering with traditional Scottish music<\/strong>, dancing<\/strong> and storytelling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Burns Supper<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is a traditional meal of haggis, neaps and tatties. Haggis<\/strong> is a sheep\u2019s or calf\u2019s offal mixed with suet, oatmeal, and seasoning and boiled in a bag, traditionally one made from the animal\u2019s stomach. Neaps are mashed turnips<\/strong> and tatties are mashed potatoes<\/strong>. For those attending a formal Burns supper<\/a><\/strong>, they will be piped into the hall by pipers on bagpipes.<\/p>\n

Address to a Haggis \u2013 By Robert Burns<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fair fa\u2019 your honest, sonsie face,<\/em><\/p>\n

Great chieftain o\u2019 the pudding-race!<\/em><\/p>\n

Aboon them a\u2019 ye tak your place,<\/em><\/p>\n

Weel are ye wordy o\u2019a grace<\/em><\/p>\n

As lang\u2019s my arm.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The groaning trencher there ye fill,<\/em><\/p>\n

Your hurdies like a distant hill,<\/em><\/p>\n

Your pin wad help to mend a mill<\/em><\/p>\n

In time o\u2019need,<\/em><\/p>\n

While thro\u2019 your pores the dews distil<\/em><\/p>\n

Like amber bead.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His knife see rustic Labour dight,<\/em><\/p>\n

An\u2019 cut you up wi\u2019 ready sleight,<\/em><\/p>\n

Trenching your gushing entrails bright,<\/em><\/p>\n

Like ony ditch;<\/em><\/p>\n

And then, O what a glorious sight,<\/em><\/p>\n

Warm-reekin\u2019, rich!<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is there that owre his French ragout<\/em><\/p>\n

Or olio that wad staw a sow,<\/em><\/p>\n

Or fricassee wad make her spew<\/em><\/p>\n

Wi\u2019 perfect sconner,<\/em><\/p>\n

On sic a dinner?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,<\/em><\/p>\n

As feckless as wither\u2019d rash,<\/em><\/p>\n

His spindle shank, a guid whip-lash;<\/em><\/p>\n

His nieve a nit;<\/em><\/p>\n

Thro\u2019 bloody flood or field to dash,<\/em><\/p>\n

O how unfit!<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,<\/em><\/p>\n

The trembling earth resounds his tread.<\/em><\/p>\n

Clap in his walie nieve a blade,<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ye Pow\u2019rs, wha mak mankind your care,<\/em><\/p>\n

And dish them out their bill o\u2019 fare,<\/em><\/p>\n

Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware<\/em><\/p>\n
