It will indeed be Burns night tonight, celebrated by Scots and others in many parts of the world .
50 years ago today the British postal authorities issued the first commemorative stamps for Robert Burns, on the 170th anniversary of his death :-
The first Burns commemorative stamps EVER were issued by the former Soviet Union 10 years earlier !

For many years I was lucky enough to receive an invitation to a very special Burns night in Corby.
Often referred to a 'Little Scotland'
Wonderful night

Burns' suppers ... hmm! Can remember going to the occasional - very occasional - one when growing up in a small village where such events were held annually and, well ... it was OK. Yes, I enjoyed the aforementioned nosh. But ... ... as for the rest of the evening, it was devoted to speeches and toasts to the "Immortal Memory", etc. Which, being a teenager at the time, I'd find rather onerous to sit through. Mainly though, I went along with my dad - who had taken pride in his his father's ability to recite the whole of Burns's epic 'Tam O' Shanter' ... unaided.

Arthur, do you eat the Haggis?
I have never tried but is in not mostly lungs and heart as the meat?

I love 'real' Haggis. For me it's perfect. Meaty, spicy, and so very tasty.
