  • He is celebrated the World over mainly by Scots but also by many other nationalities with whom his sentiments have struck a chord.
  • Many Burns lines have passed into everyday use "The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley" He gave us "Auld Lang Syne" Endowed the lowly haggis with stature by his poem address to a Haggis and gave us The Burns Supper.
