本周是1月23日至1月29日历史上发生的事件。 | | On the 25th of January 1759 Robbie Burns, the Scottish poet, was born. Burns night is celebrated by Scots all over the world to commemorate the birthday of Robert Burns, their most famous poet. He was born in Alloway, a small village in southern Scotland, in 1759. He was the son of a farmer, and was called the Ploughman Poet because he had been a farmer worker. The small cottage in Alloway where he lived is now a museum. He died in 1796 from rheumatic fever, at the age of 37.

| A traditional Burns Night celebration consists of a large formal dinner. The men wear kilts, skirts in the tartan of their clan, and old songs are sung, there is Scottish dancing and, of course, Burns' poetry.
At the dinner they eat the traditional Scottish dish called haggis. A haggis is made from a sheep's stomach stuffed with minced heart, liver, suet (animal fat) and oatmeal. It is called "The king of the feast", and is carried in to the sound of bagpipes.
