This weekend sees the annual celebration of world famous Scottish poet Robert Burns' life and work, taking place on the 25th January. Dating back to the 18th century, Burns Night has gone on to be one of the cultural highlights on the Scottish calendar.

Recent times have seen the long standing tradition of addressing the haggis (or great cheiftain o' the puddin-race), toasting the lassies, reciting of Burns poetry and of course consuming whiskey memorialised throughout the world, with Scottish ex pats exporting the deeply traditional celebration of one of Scotland's most important cultural figures.

We then have a brief look at some of the restaurants around the UK throwing Burns Supper specials, and give you a few nifty ideas as to where to celebrate the legacy left by one of the world's finest wordsmiths.

The Edinburgh Larder Bistro // Edinburgh

First on our hit list is the The Edinburgh Larder Bistro. Located in Princes Street, the Larder Bistro is a masterclass in Scottish fine dining, with all ingredients locally sourced and carefully selected. The classic Burns night fare of haggis with fine Scottish Whiskeys will be on offer, as The Larder Bistro boasts a comprehensive selection of some of Scotland's finest drams.

The North Bridge Brasserie // Edinburgh

The North Bridge Brasserie is another undoubted highlight of Edinburgh's restaurant tapestry. Again providing a traditional selection of food, The North Bridge adds a distinctly contemporary edge to its menu. Set in classic settings, the aesthetic of the restaurant and flavours of the food and drink mark a truly fitting way to mark this pivotal Scottish day.

Caprice Restaurant // Reading

Last but not least, we have Reading's Caprice Restaurant, which offers a mouthwatering three course Burns Night meal at only £23.95 per person. Proving that you don't need to be in Scotland to celebrate Burns Night, Caprice, famous for its outstanding British cuisine, offers a sophisticated set up, a huge selection of alcoholic beverages and a full board of pub grub favourites and classics from the four corners of the earth.
