To celebrate Robert Burns Day on 25 January, we will be hosting special themed lunches in Fuel Zones across Glasgow. The traditional Burns Supper of haggis, neeps and tatties will be served. We also have the option of steak pie, neeps and tatties.
Theme days will run the week before or after Sunday, 25 January, depending on individual schools. The price for this remains £1.50 and primary one, two and three pupils can enjoy this for FREE.

Every year on January 25, people across the world celebrate Robert Burns Day. Burns is Scotland’s most famous poet and was recently voted the greatest ever Scot.
Burns was born in Ayrshire in 1759 and died at the age of 37 in 1796. During his lifetime he wrote famous works such as A Red, Red Rose, Tam o’ Shanter and To a Mouse. His poem (and song) Auld Lang Syne is often sung on Hogmanay.
His work is celebrated across the world and statues of the Bard appear in faraway places including Montreal, Canada and Massachusetts, USA. There is also a town called Burns in New York which was named in his honour.
We hope you enjoy celebrating Robert Burns with us!
