Better start practising your Selkirk Grace because Burns Night is just round the corner on 25 January.

Fortunately, McIntosh of Strathmore can help take the pressure off the proceedings with their haggis, neeps and tatties and special Burns Supper packs.

Proudly using the family’s traditional haggis recipe and locally grown potatoes and neeps, their meals offer a true taste of Scotland - ready to heat, eat and enjoy on the night.

This year many Scots will be taking part in virtual Burns Suppers, which allow you to toast our national bard wherever you are in the world. It's no secret that Burns himself was a fan of a good tune and a dram so however you are celebrating, just make sure you tuck into a tasty meal and raise your glass to Robert Burns whose legacy is still celebrated in 2022.

Here’s our guide to everything you need to know to enjoy a Burns Supper, whether you are at home alone, or joining a virtual event or friends online.

This is an annual event held around the world to celebrate the life and legacy of Scotland’s most famous poet Robert Burns, which takes place on the date of his birth on 25 January. The beauty of a Burns Supper is that it can be as formal or informal as you like, to suit just yourself or any number of guests.

The works of Burns are central to any Burns Supper and any formal event will include bagpiping, the famous Address to the Haggis, the Selkirk Grace, and Auld Lang Syne but you can include any Burns poem you like.

Some hae meat and canna eat,

And some wad eat that want it,

But we hae meat and we can eat,

Sae let the Lord be Thankit!

Haggis, Neeps and tatties are always the centrepiece of any Burns Supper and that's where McIntosh of Strathmore can help with their single Haggis, Neeps & Tattie meal
