This lesson is perfect for students who are curious about Scotland, love poetry, or just like a dram. =D
The life of Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet, has been celebrated in Scotland on the 25th of January since 1801. The traditional Burns Night Supper features Scotland's national dish, the haggis, a delicious honey and oats dessert called cranachan and plenty of whisky.
Burns was a prolific poet, and many of his works in both Scots and English can be seen here: http://www.robertburns.org/works/
In this lesson you can:
