This annual celebration of the life and works of the poet Robert Burns is held in Scotland and across the globe around the anniversary of the poet's birthday in the form of a convivial dinner with particular, some may say peculiar, ritual traditions. When the Reverend Hamilton Paul agreed to arrange the first anniversary dinner for Robert Burns' patrons and friends in July 1801, he began a tradition that quite soon became a global celebration. Over two hundred years later, Burns Suppers are held all over the world to commemorate the life and work of a poet beloved wherever people celebrate life, love and liberty. From its beginning with nine Scotsmen in Burns Cottage, to today, where over nine million people join in the Burns Supper festivities, from the USA to Russia, Australia to China, and somewhere near you. The long and happy story of Burns Night is explored in this history of the annual event which has been called 'the biggest party in the world'.

In 1801, some five years after Robert Burns' death, nine of his friends sat down to dinner in what is now known as Burns Cottage in Alloway to celebrate his extraordinary life and to give thanks for his friendship. Over the years the informal theme from that evening has developed into the ritual known as Burns Night. This best-selling book is the essential guide for anyone intending to hold or attend a Burns Night of any size. In addition to setting out the order of events for the evening, the Burns Supper Companion also offers fascinating insights into the traditions surrounding Burns Night. Nancy Marshall has spent a large part of her life living and working in Edinburgh. She read English Literature and Medieval History at Edinburgh University, going on to write widely about Scottish song and the poems and songs of Robert Burns.

This second work of Norman Watters continues his study into the life and times of Robert Burns. He writes about the political, religious and social climate in the days of Robert Burns, showing that the harsh reality of the poet's eighteenth-century existence was contrasted sharply with his sensitive and poetic nature. Indeed it was Burns' perceptive and astute nature which led him to write some of the best known poems, which are still in popular use today.The Burns Supper is a tribute to Burns the man and the poet, and is also a remembrance of the things that Burns himself held dear: his beloved Scotland, the companionship of others and the fun involved in an evening full of songs and jest.Norman Watters shows that the Burns Supper is a real and thriving yearly celebration which takes place not only all over Scotland, but by Scottish people all over the world. The reader is instructed on exactly how to perform a Burns Supper: translations of old Scots words, how to bake a haggis and exactly which traditional songs which have been used in Burns Suppers over the centuries.Two of Norman's own Burns Suppers are detailed here, one in Adelaide, Australia and one in his native Bowhill Burns Club in Scotland. The speeches, toasts, songs and jibes give the reader a peep into a real Burns Supper, and also an insight into Norman Watters himself, a true Burns man.
