Events Description
BURNS225 – Rest in Poetry Event Series commemorates the 225th anniversary of the death of Robert Burns, Scotland’s national bard, on July 21, 1746. Robert Burns’s life (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796), while short, was globally impactful. Burns remains popular today largely due to the themes and language of everyday life in his work. His poems were humorous, focusing on small subjects to express big ideas. To celebrate this momentous anniversary, the Scottish Society of Ottawa will celebrate and examine Burns’s world-wide legacy, his influence on Scottish culture and the cultural heritage of Scots in Ottawa and area over the months of June and July.
This will be a celebratory tribute to Robbie Burns and Scottish Culture with poetry, whisky, bagpipes, Highland dance and a special menu at all of our partner locations. A wee bit of live and a wee bit of virtual entertainment. In true Burns tradition, a sing-along or two may break out, and a toast to Burns!
