Oh my love is like a red, red rose…
And Rabbie’s life was a tale of struggle, shame, redemption, and national recognition. And alcohol, don’t forget that very crucial component.
Let’s look back at the life of Scotland’s National Poet, Rabbie Burns: a hard-drinking, fast-living, tenant-farming, tax-collecting rebel with the heart of a poet and some fierce national pride.
Learn with us why Rabbie is regarded as a Scottish national treasure and why his poetry and songs were SO culturally important that he is still honored each year on January 25th. We will spill all the tea on what a Burns Dinner is and even tell you how to create your own, so you can join in the celebration. Fancy a bit of haggis?
