Happy Burns Night

The prolific Scottish bard, Robert Burns, died on the 21st July In 1796, but is celebrated each year on the date of his birth, 25th January 1759.  250 years ago today.

I hope that the purists among you will forgive me for joining in with the following toast:

Happy Burns Night, mi gud Scottish lassies and laddies

‘joy ya’ haggis wi’ bashit neeps an’ champit tatties

Gud health ta all ya typsy lowland an’ highland lairds

An’ may the morning break easy on ya whiskey heads!

Ta the Immortal Memory of Robert Burns!
