Burns an' a' that
An event celebrating Rabbie Burns, Scots, Gaelic and Haggis! Rescheduled from 25 January.
Due to Storm Éowyn this event was cancelled on Saturday 25 January. We have rescheduled it for Saturday 8 February, but you will need to purchase a new ticket. Please contact ticketing@hes.scot if you have any questions
Join us at Stirling Castle to celebrate Robert Burns’ birthday with the famous bard himself. In 1787, Robert Burns visited Stirling Castle, after which he returned to his hotel where he etched the now famous Stirling Lines.
Hear all about Burns’ life and what it would have been like to live around the same time as him. From the French Revolution to the Jacobites, there are plenty of stories to hear about.
But it wouldn’t be a birthday celebration without dancing and music – you’ll get the chance to learn some moves in the Chapel Royal. Then you can learn all about the foods which would have been on Burns’ daily menu or served at his party.
You’ll even get to practice addressing the haggis and, if you’re lucky, Robert Burns might grace you with a poem of his own.
