Join the Old Swan pub for a fantastic Burns night dinner special!

Burns Night, or Burns Supper, is traditionally celebrated with a dinner consisting of haggis, neeps, and tatties, external - more commonly known as turnips and potatoes.

On the 21 July 1801, the fifth anniversary of his death, his friends gathered at what is now called Burns Cottage in Alloway, near Ayr, where he was born, to honour his memory.

During this gathering, they read aloud some of his works and poetry. One poem, 'Address to a Haggis,' was recited as they dined on haggis and a sheep's head.

Unbeknown to them, this event marked the beginning of a tradition that has endured for 200 years and continues to be celebrated today.

In the years following, Burns clubs started to emerge across Scotland to celebrate his life.
