On 25 January 1759 poet Robert Burns was born and on that day all over Scotland and the rest of the world where the Scots have settled, Burns Supper are organised and attended.

Barga with its huge Scottish tradition of course took part in these celebrations but this year a week later than normal.

More than 250 years after his birth, guests sat down last night for the Annual Burns Supper organised at Da Riccardo on the Fosso.

To add to the occasion, the guest of honour – the haggis, was “captured” and flown in specially that morning on the Glasgow – Pisa flight.
