Around the world, haggis is being toasted, bagpipes are being piped and neeps and tatties roasted as Scots celebrate the birthday of Robert Burns.
Known in medieval Celtic culture as a storyteller, verse maker and composer, the word bard is synonymous with the world’s greatest poets, but few are as lauded as Scotland’s Robert Burns, whose birthday was on January 25.
Involving several traditions, such as the
Address to a Haggis, a toast to the poet s memory, and rousing renditions of the bard s many famous poems and songs, Burns Night is not just a Scottish affair. Research by the Centre for Robert Burns Studies and the University of Glasgow found that an estimated 2,500 Burns Night events take place in some 150 countries every year, including as far afield as Antarctica.
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.
