Caravan enthusiasts planning to head to Scotland for Burns Night next week (January 25th) may be wondering where is best to visit.
The national poet was born in Ayrshire and Scottish Tourist Guides Association general manager Stewart Daniels explained that this would be a good place to start as it is at the heart of festivities.
Robert Burns was born on the west coast of Scotland 251 years ago and the area is fiercely proud of the fact.
“Obviously there is the county of Ayrshire, because this is Burns’ birthplace, and this is the very centre of Burns traditions. But there will be celebrations all over Scotland for visitors to participate in,” Mr Daniels said.
Traditional festivities include Burns Suppers and tributes to the bard, including poetry readings and recitals of his songs.
A supper usually consists of eating a traditional Scottish meal and drinking good whisky while enjoying the work of “Rabbie” Burns.
