Non-Burns Night - An Excuse to Celebrate Scottish Wordsmiths
Hannah
Whether you're addressing the haggis and having a wee dram, or researching 'who is Rabbie Burns' and wondering what all the fuss is about, let the day offer a much needed boost to a dreich storm-ridden January.
Rather than focusing on that one dead auld white man (known for being a problematic sex-pest) we've put together a list of books that celebrate Scottish writing. You may find your very own 'Bard' amongst these wonderful wordsmiths.
