Across the globe we celebrate the life and works of our famous Scottish Bard on the 25th January with Burns suppers, ceilidhs and recitals. Whether you're attending a Burns event or simply having Burns Night at home, we hope you raise a wee dram to our famous bard and enjoy some Scottish treats with family and friends.
Traditionally we enjoy some haggis, neaps and tatties on Burns Night, but it's the additional Scottish goodies which will make your supper even more special including mouthwatering homemade tablet, delicious Scottish shortbread, award-winning cheese sablés and whisky cakes. All washed down with your favourite wee dram of whisky or Scottish gin of course.
