On this day in 1796, Robert Burns died at his home in Dumfries from a rheumatic heart condition at the age of 37.

Five years later, the Reverend Hamilton Paul (a poet and Freemason like Burns himself) was asked to form “a select party of the friends of Burns…'to dine in the cottage in which he was born and to offer a tribute to the memory of departed genius”.

Thus, at the site of the Bard’s birth, on the fifth anniversary of his death, the Burns Supper came to be.

This very first Supper was attended by nine friends of Burns and was incredibly similar to the Suppers held today with the format remaining largely unchanged (except for perhaps the serving of boiled sheep’s head alongside the haggis!).

The group ate, drank, sang, recited and toasted, all to the memory of their departed friend. 🥃 They agreed their convivial meeting in remembrance of the Bard should be an annual occurrence, held on an anniversary, choosing the poet’s birthday. These nine friends could not have known that in the years to come, their close get together over “hamely fare” would be replicated by over nine million people worldwide, all in celebration of the life and legacy of the Bard.

There was a point in his life, when believing he would soon be leaving his town and his Freemason brethren and friends behind, Robert Burns asked of them to remember him in an annual toast; “… to him, the Bard that’s far awa’”.
In his death, his friends did just that.
