Haggis in Kilnhouse Wood (January 24, 2014)

The great Scottish Poet, Robert Burns birthday is January 25 (1759-1796)... it is common tradition here to celebrate his life and poetry with an supper of haggis (and whiskey for those who do imbibe) on his birthday.

Underwoodsman tradition is to celebrate with a meal of haggis, jacket potato and squash. Prepared, of course, by 'chef Mike' in the woods. This year was no different. Our celebration this year was January 24th.

“Some hae meat and canna eat,

And some wad eat that want it,

But we hae meat and we can eat,

And sae the Lord be thankit.” 

― Robert Burns
