Burn's Night

Burn's Night ~ Saturday 25th January
With Christmas and New Year now behind us, the next event celebrated in Scotland is on the 25th of January. It's Scotland’s ‘other national day’, after St Andrew’s Day in late November. We are of course talking about…Burns Night. 
What is Burns Night?
Burns Night is an annual celebration of Scotland’s most famous poet – a man called Robert Burns. Born in Ayr, Burns was more than just a poet. He produced hundreds of poems, songs and letters. You no doubt may have heard (or even sang!) ‘Auld Lang Syne’ when ringing in the New Year? That was written by ‘Rabbie’ Burns too! In all he penned more than 550 poems and songs before his death in 1796. Today he is honoured with the title ‘Scotland’s national poet’ or the ‘National Bard of Ayrshire'. The very first Burns Night was held in 1801, and over 200 years later, some of the traditions of that night still exist today.
Burns Night itself marks the anniversary of Robert Burns’ birth on 25 January 1759 and the traditional Burns supper is an evening event that celebrates his life and work. We're not putting on a full supper this year, but fancied offering you something a little different that you may not have tried before on our daily menu. There will be a scattering of dishes throughout the menu on the day to give you a taste of Scotland. 
Food will be served from 12 noon through to 10pm.
