Happy Burns Night!



Tonight is Burns Night, when traditionally the life and works of Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796) is celebrated with a supper. The event includes pipers, toasts, speeches and readings of Burns' poems and of course the meal itself, centred around a traditional haggis.

We'd like to wish David, our Scottish followers and all those of Scots heritage around the world a very happy Burns Night!

A Red, Red Rose
Robert Burns

O my Luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June:
O my Luve's like the melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve!
And fare-thee-weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile!
