To increase the excitement for the Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham premier and to celebrate Scottish customs, ET Canada, released an exclusive video of Sam Heughan reciting the famous “Address to A Haggis” poem by Robert Burns for Burns Supper.
Haggis, “the Great Chieftain of the Sausage Race”
“Address to A Haggis” is a humorous ode said before the traditional Burns Night during which haggis, parsnips, and potatoes are consumed. The poem celebrates everything that is good about haggis, which is the focal dish of any Burns Supper.
Burns Night was created by the poet’s friends after his passing in 1796. They wanted to host an event that properly honored his memory. During the first supper, they all decided to recite Burns’ famous haggis verse, which gave birth to a custom that is celebrated to this day.
The Outlander actor delivers a passionate recital that will surely grab your attention and give you the appetite to learn more about Scotland and its culture.
