Celebrating Robert Burns with Address to a Haggis

Season 3 Episode 4: Celebrating Robert Burns with the Address to a Haggis Welcome to a special episode of Tea Toast and Trivia. I am you host, Rebecca Budd, and I am looking forward to sharing this moment with you. Tonight, we celebrate Robert Burns, affectionately known as Rabbie Burns, the great Scottish poet and lyricist. He has been given the honoured titles of National Bard, Bard of Ayrshire and the Ploughman Poet. He penned in the language of the Scots, even though much of his writing is in light Scots dialect and in English. This year’s celebration will be different from all other Robert Burns Suppers that have been held throughout its history. January 25, 2021 will be the first time that the Burns Suppers will be going virtual across the world. Thank you for joining me in celebrating the life and works of Robert Burns.
