<holidayfyi-glossary slug="burns-night"></holidayfyi-glossary>A Scottish cultural celebration on January 25 honoring the life and poetry of Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet. Burns suppers have been held since 1801, featuring the ceremonial piping in of haggis, a dramatic recitation of 'Address to a Haggis,' whisky toasts, and the singing of Auld Lang Syne. Burns Night is celebrated by Scottish diaspora communities worldwide and has become a broader celebration of Scottish identity.
