🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Happy #BurnsNight 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 For many, Burns Night is a time to savour traditions while celebrating our national bard and First Minister @HumzaYousaf is encouraging us to embrace our Scottish connections.
Quote graphic First Minister Humza Yousaf said: "The work of Robert Burns was instrumental in paving the way to solidifying the individual Scottish identity. Democracy and compassion feature heavily in his writing, and with unrest throughout the world it’s never been more important to reflect on his words while enjoying our freedom."

Robert Burns was a poet who spoke to all and many of his poems were set to music 🎶 Have a listen of this (shortened) version of Ae Fond Kiss by @KTTunstall. Touching and emotional, with heartbreak running through... #BurnsNight #BurnsSongs #BurnsPoems 📽️ @burnsandbeyond
