The History Of Burns Night
Burns Night commemorates the birth of Robert Burns on January 25, 1759, with a traditional Burns supper—a special evening celebrating his life and work.
The tradition dates back to 1801, when nine of Burns' close friends gathered to honour the fifth anniversary of his death.
Over the past two centuries, new customs have been added, but the essence of the celebration remains unchanged.
Participants enjoy a hearty Burns Night feast featuring haggis, neeps, and tatties, accompanied by drams of whisky. The evening includes recitations of Burns' poems, performances of his songs, and heartfelt tributes to Scotland’s beloved Bard.
So if you are going to a Burns Night supper or event, why not have a look at my many tartan accessories.
I have wristlets, shoe clips, hair clips, bag clips, larger fascinators and my best selling tartan ribbon ruffle brooches in two sizes.
Which are just perfect for pinning onto a dress, shawl or jacket.
They can also have a clip instead if you prefer..
All my tartan accessories are available in a wide range of the most popular licenced Clan tartans as well as some new rarer tartans for 2025 including, Burns, Bruce, Anderson, Wallace (my own) and various Pride of Scotland variations
