Happy Burns' Night

[Jack Wolf]

Hey lads

- I wasn't sure which part of the forum to post this in, but I wanted to wish you all
a festive evening on this night of celebrating the great Poet himself!

Happy Burn's Night
and may your haggis be warmed to your liking!

[Jock Scot]

Just so you know, not everyone-----particularly Highlanders------ regard Mr. Burns as a great poet.

Jock,

You beat me to it. So many others to choose from, including:

Alasdair mac Mhaighstir Alasdair
John Roy Stewart
Iain Lom
Duncan Ban MacIntyre

And more recently - Sorley MacLean and Iain Crichton Smith

Let’s not forget the ladies too:

Sìleas na Ceapaich
Christiana Fergusson
Màiri Mhòr nan Òran

And many more besides.

"'Twis jist a skelp o the muckle firth,
A sklyter o roch grun
Fan Granfadder's fadder brak it in
Fae the hedder and the funn. ...."
