Get your kilt on and fill up a plate of haggis, neeps and tatties because it’s nearly Burns Night (or if you’re reading this on the 25th January, it is Burns Night)! With links to Scotland in the PastieBap camp (Chris’s wife is a Scot) we thought it would be useful to share the knowledge and let you know a little bit more about Rabbie Burns and why we celebrate the life and times of this famous poet.

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm 30 years old and have a degree in Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as writing for BBC Across the Line.
