About Burns Nicht

The first Burns Supper was held in 1801, exactly five years after the death of Robert Burns. Nine men, surely missing the comfort of their friend’s prose, gathered on this anniversary for a dinner at Burns Cottage in celebration of the poet’s life. In what was clearly a proper tribute to their friend they decided on a meal of haggis with neeps and tatties, to be washed down with scotch, and peppered through the evening were songs and recitations of Burns’ poetry.

Today, Burns Suppers are celebrated around the world on January 25th, the anniversary of Burns’ birthday. The evening hasn’t changed much since that first Supper in 1801 – it’s still a rousing celebration full of poetry, song and dance in honor of Scotland’s bard. Learn more about Burns Nicht in our Burns Supper 101 blog.
