Every year on his birthday, January 25th, the world remembers and celebrates the life and works of Scottish Poet, Robert Burns, “The Bard” of Scotland..... effectively a second National Day, for Scots.
In his short 37 years, Robert Burns(25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) also known as Rabbie Burns or The Bard of Ayshire, and known in Scotland simply as “The Bard”, penned an amazing repertoire of poetry and lyrics popular to this day.
The Burns evening was a great success. Dave Sapiro went to a great deal of trouble to organise the event, including printing the menu with a list of whiskeys to be sampled and various Burns poems.
Alan Welch won the whiskey tasting competition for which he received a complimentary haggis, specially imported by Mark (also a STUD) of the English Shop in Tervuren.
