Burns Night itself marks the anniversary of Robert Burns' birth on 25 January 1759 and the traditional Burns supper is an evening event that celebrates his life and work. History can trace its origins back to nine of Burns' close friends who decided to get together to mark the fifth anniversary of their friend's death.
Robert Burns is also known as Rabbie Burns. Burns penned his first poem at the age of 15. Burns wrote his poems in Scots, standard English and Scots dialect. In his personal life, Burns dedicated hundreds of lines of verse to women and fathered 12 children, nine to his wife Jean Armour.
