Today , 25th January, marks the celebration of the birth date Scotland’s most famous poet Robert Burns. An important date in the Scottish calendar when Burns suppers take place all over Scotland to celebrate his poems and songs whilst enjoying haggis and of course a few drams. Burns, born 267 years ago , was both a nationalist and internationalist. He is credited with the renaissance of Scottish language and culture post the battle of Culloden in an era when speaking Gaelic, Scots, the wearing of the kilt and playing bagpipes was outlawed. Enjoy the images and this beautiful poem where his love of the Highlands is perfectly encapsulated.
