Robbie Burns suppers are popular everywhere, usually celebrated with haggis, cheese plates, soup, and lots of scotch, maybe some Highland Dancing and bagpipe music. The bringing in of the haggis is a solemn and very serious event at a Burns day supper, there is a address to the haggis and pomp and ceremony bringing it in. They recite Robbie Burn’s poetry, graces, and general merriment. Robbie Burns supper celebrations have been held on or around his birthday since five years after his death, starting in 1803.
