The British High Commissioner to Kenya, H.E. Jane Marriott OBE hosted a special evening at her official residence on the 25th of January 2022 in honor of Robert Burns. Esteemed guests, at the black- tie invite only dinner celebrations had the opportunity to immerse themselves in plenty of Scottish culture through food, music and poetry. In addition, there was plenty of Scotch \u2013 which is an important part of Scotland\u2019s identity. Burns and Scotch whisky are synonymous. The Scottish poet penned his love for this national drink in his verse \u2018O thou, my muse! guid auld Scotch.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, after Queen Victoria and Christopher Columbus, Burns is said to have more statues dedicated to him around the world than any other non-religious figure. From a young age, he nurtured a passion for poetry and to date, written with grace and humor, and distinguished by unpretentious beauty, his poems continue to touch the hearts of people around the globe who commemorate his legacy, on or around his birthday (January 25). Robert Burns lived to the age of 37 and during that time, travelled wide and far composing poems and songs. As well as making original compositions, Burns also collected folk songs from across Scotland, often revising or adapting them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Scottish holiday has been celebrated for hundreds of years since the first supper was held by acquaintances of Robert Burns to commemorate his death. Today, it is marked all around the world to celebrate his life and work with events held in the weeks surrounding the late poet\u2019s birthday. Its therefore more than just a good reason to raise a \u2018wee dram\u2019 of whisky while enthusiastically belting \u2018Auld Lang Syne\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
