In Scotland we love nothing more than a good knees up and a reason to celebrate. Burns night is a date in the calendar (Friday 25th January) that all haggis, whisky and bagpipe loving Scots look forward to every year.
Packed with tradition a Burns supper is a perfect way to celebrate our very own bard, Rabbie Burns.
If you are thinking about hosting your own Burns supper this year, we have compiled a quick guide to help you with the traditional order of ceremony:
1. Piping in of the guests - The traditional Scottish instrument, the bagpipes, features highly and is the welcoming sound that signifies the start of the supper.
2. The Selkirk Grace - A prayer to usher in the meal.
Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.
3. Address to the haggis - The loudest and most energetic speaker of the evening will entertain the crowd with a recital of Burns' Address to the Haggis as the haggis is ready to be cut.
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye worthy o' a grace
As lang's my arm....
4. The supper - tuck into Scotland's most famous and traditional meal, haggis, neeps (turnip) & tatties.
After the meal their will usually be entertainment, more Burns poems, whisky and chat for the remainder of the night.
