A Burns Night celebration at Edinburgh Castle marking the poet's life with a themed event on the day.

Edinburgh Castle marks Burns Night with a themed event celebrating Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns. It's a one-off date in the castle's public performances calendar, taking place on 25 January. Details of the exact format aren't given on the listings page, so it's worth treating this as a special one-day happening at the castle rather than a regular fixture. Check the castle's ticketing pages nearer the time for what's included.
