Happy Burns Day from Scottish Republic. This is the 250th Anniversary of our National Poet Robert Burns and I have got my haggis, neeps and tatties in stock for tonight.
Firstly some news and events taking place in Scotland to celebrate our National Bard.
In Celtic Connections website of Radio Scotland you can download a Podcast In celebration of the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns - over 300 poems have been recorded by actors from all generations.

For anyone planning on being in the Edinburgh or Dumfries area this weekend, here’s a heads-up on a couple of events I’m involved with that might be worth checking out.
The monthly Neu! Reekie! culture club returns on Fri 27th with the usual eclectic mix of film, spoken word and music. This Friday we’ll be celebrating the birthdays of two very different Scottish poets.
Or check out the activities in Dumfries where I Larry was born and raised and where we have a special affection for Burns.
