Celebrating the birthday of Robert Burns
A Burns supper is held to honor the life and poetry of Scottish poet Robert Burns. He wrote numerous poems, including "Auld Lang Syne". A song sung all over the world at New Year.

Dress code is black tie; ladies in long dresses, men in tuxedos but of course also in kilts. Burns Night is generally given on or around 25th January, the anniversary of Robert Burns’ birthday.
