#BurnsNight
Text
My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go.
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth ;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
Farewell to the mountains, high-cover’d with snow,
Farewell to the straths and green vallies below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go.
— Robert Burns, 1789

For Burns Night, the surprisingly connected origins of "haggis" and "mediocre".

Repost from @therake • Tonight, Scottish folk celebrate Burns Night – to commemorate Robert Burns. In all corners of the globe Scots will be donning their best tartan clobber and raising a wee dram to their most famous poet. Read the full story 'Tartan up for Burns Night' through the link in our bio. Photographed by @charliegraystudio #TheRake #BurnsNight https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn6QQRCuSTe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just realized yesterday was Burns Night 🤦♂️. Well to make up for it this thirsty Thursday I'm diving into this three pack Monsters of Smoke from Ardbeg featuring the Wee Beastie, Ardbeg 10, and An Oa. Paired with a great Tatuaje T110 Tuxtla cigar. The Wee Beastie has flavors of iodine, sweet hay, and earthy smoke. The 10 has flavors of sweet roast meat, campfire, and salted caramel. The An Oa has flavors of spice cake, molasses, and dark chocolate. .... Happy 264th Robert Burns! Sorry it's a belated birthday. .... Burns Night celebrates the birthday of the national poet of Scotland Robert Burns. It's celebrated on January 25th each year with toasts of Scotch, haggis, and the recital of Burns' poetry. .... O Lord, Thou kens what zeal I bear, When drinkers drink, an’ swearers swear, An’ singin there, an’ dancin here, Wi’ great and sma’; For I am keepit by Thy fear Free frae them a’. But yet, O Lord! confess I must, At times I’m fash’d wi’ fleshly lust: An’ sometimes, too, in wardly trust, Vile self gets in: But Thou remembers we are dust, Defil’d wi’ sin. -Holy Willie’s Prayer, Robert Burns .... #cigar #CigarLover #CigarAfficionado #cigarphoto #cigarsnob #cigarlife #cigarsmoke #burnsnight #tatuajecigars #sailorandsticks #cigarsandwhisky #TapThatAsh #whisky #scotchwhisky #ardbeg #WhiskyAfficionado #WhiskyNeat #whiskylife #whiskyphoto #WhiskyLover #thirstythursday #quote #quotestagram (at Coastal San Pedro) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn6Bl8krBl7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A wee sad one afore ye go. The most popular parting song until Burns wrote #AuldLangSyne So pretty they once believed it was written by Haydn. It wasn't.

Address to a Haggis
Robert Burns
Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face,
Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!
Aboon them a’ ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang ‘s my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o’ need,
While thro’ your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see Rustic-labour dight,
An’ cut ye up wi’ ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn, they stretch an’ strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a’ their weel-swall’d kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
Bethankit hums.
Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi’ perfect sconner,
Looks down wi’ sneering, scornfu’ view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither’d rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro’ bluidy flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He’ll make it whissle;
An’ legs, an’ arms, an’ heads will sned,
Like taps o’ thrissle.
Ye Pow’rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o’ fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!
