Known in medieval Celtic culture as a story teller, verse maker and composer, the word ‘Bard’ has become synonymous with the world’s greatest poets. However, few are as celebrated as Scotland’s own ‘National Bard’, Robert Burns, who we pay tribute to on 25 January each year.

This weekend why not embrace the celebrations and have your own Burns Night supper. You can buy ready-made haggis in the big supermarkets like Tesco or alternatively try your local butcher.

For some family-friendly Burns Night recipes, watch the video below and don't forget to address the haggis!
