The best time to visit Scotland is on January

25. It is the day when they have Burns Night in Scotland.

My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer.
A-chasing the wild deer and foll’wing the roe;
My heart’s in the Highlands wherever I go…
Robert Burns.

Слайд 10

One day he wrote a poem ‘To a Haggis’, an old

Scottish dish. That is why Burns Night begins with the parade of the haggis.

Address to a Haggis.

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…
Robert Burns.
