Rabbie Burns Day
He is known as the National Bard of Scotland. Each year on January 25 we pay tribute to the wise and witty Robert Burns, better known in Scotland as Rabbie Burns. He was a storyteller, a verse maker and a composer. On The Score today we honor his legacy with a tribute to Scotland featuring films of the land of Caledonia, or in the Scots Gaelic: Alba. Today we raise a musical toast with films that celebrate the fierce spirit of Scotland including The Wicker Man, The Tragedy of Macbeth, Braveheart, Mary Queen of Scots and more.
