Robert Burns was born on 25th January, 1759 in Ayr, Scotland. He wrote the famous poems "To a Mouse", "Holy Wullie", "Tam O'Shanter", "Ae Fond Kiss", among many more. His use of the Scots language, his tone and the fact he speaks for 'everyman', and his prolific writing, make Burns enormously popular, with wide international appeal. Endorsed by the Burns Federation, this book is a guide on how to organise your own Burns' Night at home - from the shopping list you must take to buy the necessaries for the plentiful recipes, to 'How to do the Gay Gordons' by Joe, to music and poetry from Burns throughout. The book is illustrated throughout with comic strips from Scotland's first family, "The Broons".

Broons Burns Night,
By Flora (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Broon's Burns Night (Paperback)
Jings, crivens! Nae wonder this is oot o stock! It's a brilliant cartoon pseudo-notebook of Burnsiana, replete with cracked yellow taped splattered handwritten recipes, notes, poems, etc., from the endearing legendary Broon family. It's unabashedly Scots, and a real gem. I'm seeking a copy to send to my sister. I wouldn't risk letting my own treasured copy out of my sight. Lang may yer lum reek, great chieftain o the puddin race!

Fantastic Scottish Memories,

This review is from: Broon's Burns Night (Paperback)
Born and raised in Scotland I loved reading the Broon's in my parents Sunday paper and was thrilled to find this amazing book which brought back so many fun memories reading this as a child especially being away from home for so many years after emigrating to the US and missing Scotland. The recipes are great and comments throughout hysterical. They did a great job putting this fun book together.

A Great Guide for Scots everywhere,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Broon's Burns Night (Paperback)
I purchased this book for the reputation that has been built around "The Broons". It is an easy read with many anecdotes and recipes for celebration of "Burn's Night" which honors not only the Bard, Robert Burns, but the famous Scottish Haggis. Long a favorite of Scots, this book brings to mind many of the sayings, humor, and everyday life of the homeland for those Scots who have emigrated away, but wish to keep their roots intact. Whether it is used as a 'Cook Book' or a 'Coffee Table Book' it is a 'must' for a Scot's Library!
