With Burns Night 2021 fast approaching, although looking a bit different this year, people can still mark the big night by enjoying a host of virtual Burns celebrations and suppers. January 25 is known worldwide as Burns Night - the birthday of Robert Burns, Scotland’s national bard – traditionally celebrated with a meal of haggis, turnip (‘neeps’) and potatoes (‘tatties’), and a wee dram of whisky. Some of these events include Dumfries’ famous Big Burns Supper - with comedy, music and entertainment – going digital for the first time, the National Trust for Scotland’s Big Burns Night In, streaming live from Robert Burns Cottage in Alloway and haggis producer Macsween’s plans for the largest virtual Burns Supper.
