Watch Red Rose
£9.97 for the DVD For someone who is so well-known across the globe, there have been surprisingly few films made about Robert Burns. One of them is Red Rose, a little-known 2004 biopic that charts the life of Burns and his romantic relationships – namely with his wife Jean Armour. Jean inspired many of Burns’ works, but her father was hugely disapproving of the lothario poet and the fact Jean got pregnant while they were unmarried. When Burns eventually gained fame for his poetry her father relented and gave permission for the union and Jean remained with Robert until his death.
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.
