I host a dinner party (DinnerParty) every year to celebrate the birthday of Poet Laurate Robert Burns.

It's a chance to eat Haggis, Baps and Neeps, Tipsy Laird and to drink lots of Scotch (CategoryScotch)

Burns Suppers have been part of Scottish culture for about 200 years as a means of commemorating our best loved bard. And when Burns immortalised haggis in verse he created a central link that is maintained to this day.

The ritual was started by close friends of Burns a few years after his death in 1796 as a tribute to his memory. The basic format for the evening has remained unchanged since that time and begins when the chairman invites the company to receive the haggis.

Selkirk Grace

Some hae meat and cannot eat.
Some cannot eat that want it:
But we hae meat and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit.
