Burns statues have been raised all over the world
Today, January 25, marks the anniversary of the birth of Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns.
Over the course of this weekend, Burns Suppers will be held across the globe, to mark his contribution to literature and poetry, and commemorate his immortal memory.
