Who was Robert Burns?
Robert 'Rabbie' Burns, a key figure in Scotland's literary history, is celebrated for his romantic songs, ballads, and satires ingrained in Scottish culture.
Known as Rabbie Burns, the National Bard, and more, he stands as a revered cultural icon.
Auld Lang Syne, one of his famous works, resonates globally on New Year's Eve.
A pioneer of the Romantic movement, Burns posthumously inspired liberalism and socialism founders, leaving an enduring cultural legacy in Scotland and among Scots globally.
Burns Suppers
The inaugural memorial supper occurred at Burns Cottage on 21st July 1801, marking the fifth anniversary of Robert Burns' passing. This tradition has endured for over 200 years.
Burns Clubs originated in Greenock in 1801, formed by Ayrshire-born merchants familiar with Burns. The first Burns supper, initially believed to be on 29 January, his presumed birthday, was organised in 1802. However, subsequent discoveries in 1803 revealed his actual birthdate as 25th January 1759.
For more than two centuries, Burns suppers have been observed annually around 25th January, commemorating the poet's enduring legacy.
