It's still the 24th. here in the U.S., but in Scotland, it's already the 25th.
A poem:
We came tae Ayr tae see your hoose
And pay our due respects
The rain was runnin' like a sluice
And drippin' doon our necks
We saw nae man like you, Rab
Nae lassie like Jean Armour
I don't know where you are the noo
But you're better off, and warmer
(Composed by Gerald Strain)

Lovely, thanks, Mike!
Having a wee dram (or two) to celebrate in Edinburgh!!
When I was growing up in Montreal. our church held a Robbie Burns Supper every year on his birthday. No booze, though.
I have a calendar entry to read one of his poems every Jan 25. Maybe this year I will read one about him instead.
Thanks Mike, for this one.
well I have had my haggis tatties and neeps for my evening meal, washed down with a Heather ale and a glass or 3 of Jura 10 year old single malt. have a great Burns night wherever you are.
Sláinte, Unclegus!
Haven’t heard from our son today, but hope he’s been out celebrating Burns Night in Edinburgh.
Talked to him last weekend and sounds like he’s been having a great time, meeting new friends and enjoying his classes.
glad he is having a good time
I didn't realize he was a member of the Jewish clergy (see thread title).
