| The Scottish poet Robert Burns was born in 1759 in Alloway, Ayrshire. Around the world tributes to him are held through the ritual of the Burns Supper, originally started a few years after his death by a group of his friends and acquaintances to honour his memory; the suppers are now celebrated annually on the date of his birth, January 25. |
