Celebrate Burns Night in Edinburgh

January 6, 2012 Posted in: Blog 0 Comments

Address your haggis in the Scottish capital this year! Burns Night is celebrated annually around the time of the Scottish poet’s birthday (25^th January) with a multitude of events. Of course, more often than not these include a traditional Burns supper. This delicious meal consists of the Scottish national dish haggis, served with a side of neeps (swede) and tatties (potatoes). A serving of whisky and the recitation of Robert Burns’ poetry complete the evening.

We have researched some of the most promising Burns-events scheduled for this January for you:

Ø Enjoy a traditional Burns Night dinner at the Whiski Rooms on the Mound in Edinburgh’s city centre on Wednesday, 25^th January at 7.30pm. Bagpipes, songs and tasty Scottish food within walking distance of our guesthouse. Reservations are required.

Ø Visit the Scottish Storytelling Centre’s Family Festival Day to experience Robert Burns and his art in an interactive way. Readings and music to charm all the family on Saturday, 28^th January.

Ø The Royal Botanic Gardens host their interpretation of a “Burns Supper” from Monday-Friday all through January. The gardens are located close to The Walton and are a definite ‘must see’ during your time in Edinburgh. Learn about plants mentioned in Burns art – no booking is required.
