Robert Burns´s Day

On 25th January it is ROBERT BURNS´S DAY  in Scotland.

People pay tribute to the national poet of Scotland through the ritual of Burns Supper, a celebration of his life and poetry, which should include Haggis, a traditional Scottish dish.

RED, RED ROSE by Robert Burns (1759-1796).

On New Year´s Eve, just after midnight, people celebrating Hogmanay sing together the following tune, one of the most well-known songs in the world: Auld Lang Syne. (lyrics by Robert Burns)

Auld Lang Syne in Out of Africa (1. 26min)

and ...of course Auld Lang Syne in the Classic film It is a Wonderful Life
