Hearing the rhythm, meter, and rhyme fluently flowing from a fine fellow, such as he reminds 'tis the sound of language that warms us to our innards, like haggis can do. Only a GREAT actor can handle language in such a delicate, loving way. Rabbit Burns smiles, I'm certain.
I'm from the U.S, and recently I made a friend from Scotland playing an online game. We got to talking about our differences in culture, and I had asked what haggis was since I'd heard of it, but didn't know what it was. She explained to me, and sometime after she recited this poem to me. While I can't understand it, it's nice to hear it. It sounds, idk, warm? Inviting? I'm not grreat with words, but I thoroughly enjoyed hearing this.
Fantastic. Although it's been my lifelong dream to return to the country all of my grandparents immigrated from, I know one day soon I can finally go. And on that day, at the Ship Inn in Irvine, I will be able to take my first bite o' haggis. I'll be thinking of this the whole time. It's weird to live in a country that your heart doesnt belong to. Soon, Scotland. Soon.
I moved to Scotland this year from England and I absolutely love everything Scottish. I loved watching this, you really brought Robbie to life my friend. Happy Burns night
A beautiful reading - loved the Burns get up as well! My fiancee and I are just enjoying our first Burns night together after moving up to Scotland. For our Burns Night Supper, we had haggis with chips and peppercorn sauce! CalMac ferries are serving it to commemorate the day and so we made it at our new home. Saor Alba!
Today on Burns night, i am in Dunfermline at my daughter's place, try to find a place for burns supper..From HK, love Robert Burns poems❤ Your reading and acting were just marvelous.Thank you😊
Gorgeous. I've shared this around to my colleagues and on twitter and fb today for Burns Day. Just what was needed and hits me in the feels. Thank you sir.
Tonight me and my sister are gonna be saying this. Its also my grandparents anniversary. So well be performing this at there house. And were gonna be eating haggis. Its part of our heritage (Scottish). Happy Burns day.
It's an office pot luck this week. I'm bringing haggis to try and thicken the spindly limbs of my Sassenach coworkers who hail from all corners of the world. As my delivery cannot top this performance I'll play it from my coworkers.
I am French and thought I was bilingual until I heard this. Wow, without subtitles I'm totally lost. Sounds wonderful, familiar yet alien. Love it, thanks! Do Americans or Brits understand, by the way???
I am American. I let the words settle on my brain and waited for them to become clear to me...but nothing happened. However, it's wonderfully rhythmic and entertaining and fun. I love it!
American here, I can not read the poem at all, my mouth marbles How ever, simply hearing it, and ignoring the spelling I can understand it like it’s my native tongue I mark it to genetic memery, I may be an American mutt with no history, but my ancestors have stories to tell
This poem is written in Scots (also called Lallans or braid scotch), which is a separate language from English, though very closely related. My mother (American) can't understand the poem, written or read, but my father (Scottish American) can. It just depends on your exposure to the language.
Many thanks. And again - today's the day :) Got a beauty from the butchers. Shall annoy wife with my dismal recitation, but hopefuly the trembling earth will respect me as a man.
Thank you so much im doing my homework from home and I am bad at reading scots so this has helped me so much (I am from scotland but just bad at reading it as alot of these words are not used anymore )
Recommended by Tony Broonford. Having seen your interview today it is a pleasure to hear you recite. this pledge...this honor to the Haggis. Thank You.

Although there are many known old receipts for offal and oatmeal puddings, such as Hackin or Hogs Pudding, the earliest reference to haggis ('hagese') is in the Lancashire verse cookbook Liber Cure Cocorum (Liber Cure 1430). This is about 50 years before the first reference in Scotland. It continued to appear in English texts up to the 19th Century, and was clearly as loved or loathed as it is now, for Markham's 'English Huswife' of 1615 has, "That pudding which is called the Haggas or Haggus, of whose goodnesse it is in vain to boast, because there is hardly to be found a man that doth not affect them.

What am I doing here at 2am??? I don't even know what a haggis is (I googled it, looks actually kinda... tasty I guess?). I have no idea how I got there, but I'm not complaining :)
But I was also comparing this wonderful ode @sustainablist1 to a Scot. Who says he was taught to recite this as a child at school to me reciting Lewis Carol's Jabberwocky😅😂❤
Every burns night I come back to this masterpiece 🏴

is there a version in english?
There are some wonderful translations out there😊😊 G
My wife is American and can't understand. We think it talks about food (thank goodness for video title!!!)
Yes indeed, Robert Burns wrote the poem to celebrate his appreciation for The Haggis...a meat dish, usually described as a savoury pudding😊
Is that Duddingston Loch?
It is, beautiful place😊🥃

Is this the so-called 'Lowland Scottish'? It sounds like North German dialect or Dutch to my ears.
Burns spoke Auld Scots 😁
It would help to get the words right…and it’s warm-reekin….not warm, reekin……
It's not and he did a very good job. I'd like to hear you try and do better 😂
The Corinth, Mississippi Chapter of Knights of Saint Andrew (under the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry) just conducted our Inaugural Robert Burns Night, hosting the other four Chapters in the State. It was a great success. I made the haggis and since sheep apparently don't grow in Mississippi, I used whitetail deer (a cloven hoof is a cloven hoof). Our piper performed the Address and was spot on in his work. The haggis was completely gone by the end of the evening and everyone was duly and truly satisfied.
Glad to hear it🥃🥃
I dont like this creepy comment
Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face,
Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!
Aboon them a’ ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang ‘s my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o’ need,
While thro’ your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see Rustic-labour dight,
An’ cut ye up wi’ ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn, they stretch an’ strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a’ their weel-swall’d kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
Bethankit hums.
Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi’ perfect sconner,
Looks down wi’ sneering, scornfu’ view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither’d rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro’ bluidy flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He’ll make it whissle;
An’ legs, an’ arms, an’ heads will sned,
Like taps o’ thrissle.
Ye Pow’rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o’ fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!
