Robert Burns aka Rabbie Burns, (1759 - 1796) is Scotland's most famous poet and is celebrated in Scotland and beyond on the anniversary of his birth on January 25th.

Centre stage of any Burn's Night supper is the haggis. Haggis a wonderful, tasty dish using sheep's offal (the bits often discarded nowadays; lungs, hearts, liver). The cooked minced offal is mixed with suet, oatmeal, seasoning and encased in the sheep's stomach, stitched up and boiled for up to three hours.
