Happy Burns Night! To celebrate Scotland's National Bard, this episode we're talking all things Rabbie Burns: the man himself, the celebration held in his honour, the mysterious Haggis, and Tam O'Shanter. Hunt yourself a haggis, pour a wee dram, and enjoy this episode of the Folklore Scotland podcast.

Hosting the show this time we have David White, Rebecca Brown, Roisin McCrimmon, Mila Georgieva and our special guest, Bethany Smith. The artwork for this episode is by Linley Barba who also provided the harp music.
