The best Burns Night recipes to cook for a traditional Scottish supper
Burns night, an extravagant affair held at the end of January to celebrate the life of Scotland’s national poet Robert Burns, traditionally involves the shrill sound of bagpipes, creamy neeps and tatties, and lashings of fiery whisky sauce.The undisputed highlight of the evening is, however, the emphatic rendition of Burns's 'To a Haggis'.
