Burns Night falls on Monday 25 January this year. Steve always likes to cook Haggis and have a dram of Whisky on this night and as we will be at home this year, I thought we might make it more of an event.
This post includes a few ideas for getting starting. As a good starting place, I recommended downloading this fantastic, free Burns Night toolkit from Visit Scotland which includes poems, recipes, a quiz and more.
