Address to the haggis

1/19/2022

The ode, called Address to a Haggis, was written by Robert Burns in 1787 and celebrates all that is good about haggis.

After Robert "Rabbie" Burns died in 1796, his friends organised a Burns Supper to remember him by. During this first ever supper, they recited Burns' famous haggis verse, thereby creating the custom still known to this day.

Traditionally, the address happens before the meal of h aggis, neeps and tatties is eaten when guests will stand as the haggis is brought to the table before an eight-verse poem in honour of the food is recited.

How to address your Haggis

Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
