Burns Night commemorates Scottish poet Robert Burns on his birthday each January with haggis, whisky, and poetry recitation.

2. • It is celebrated on 30th November, and is the
national day of Scotland. The celebration of St
Andrew as a national festival is thought to originate
from the reign of Malcolm III (1034–1093). It was
thought that ritual slaughter of animals associated
with Samhain was moved to this date, so as to
assure enough animals were kept alive for
winter. But it is only in more recent times that the
30th November has been given national holiday
status.

3. Hogmanay is the Scots word for the last day of the year and is synonymous
with the celebration of the New Year (Gregorian calendarin the Scottish
manner. It is normally followed by further celebration on the morning
of New Year's Day (1 January) or, in some cases, 2 January—a Scottish Bank
Holiday.
The origins of Hogmanay are unclear, but may be derived
from Norse and Gaelic observances. Customs vary throughout Scotland, and
usually include gift-giving and visiting the homes of friends and neighbours,
with special attention given to the first-foot, the first guest of the new year.

4. Burns Night
• The first supper was held in memoriam at Burns Cottage by Robert Burns'
friends on 21st July 1801, the 5th anniversary of his death, and have been
a regular occurrence ever since..
• Burns suppers may be formal or informal. Both typically include haggis (a
traditional Scottish dish celebrated by Burns in Address to a
Haggis), Scotch whisky, the recitation of Burns's poetry and occasionally

Scotland, and are the most important Highland Games ; Gather

these are outweighed in audience by San Francisco , held since
1865 and organized by the Caledonian Club.
