Robert Burns:
Poet and balladeer, Scotland's favorite son and champion of the common
people. Each year around January 25, the great man's presumed birthday,
Scots everywhere take time out to honor a national icon. Whether it's a
full-blown Burns Supper or a quiet night of reading poetry, Burns Night
is a night for all Scots.
