Solon , the Scotsman! Robby Burns has big following up there ? Robert Burns had a significant influence on Alexander McLachlan [30] and some influence on Robert Service. While this may not be so obvious in Service's English verse, which is Kiplingesque, it is more readily apparent in his Scots verse. [31] Scottish Canadians have embraced Robert Burns as a kind of patron poet and mark his birthday with festivities. 'Robbie Burns Day' is celebrated from Newfoundland and Labrador [32] to Nanaimo. [33] Every year, Canadian newspapers publish biographies of the poet, [34] listings of local events [35] and buffet menus. [36] Universities mark the date in a range of ways: McMaster University library organized a special collection [37] and Simon Fraser University's Centre for Scottish Studies organized a marathon reading of Burns' poetry). [38] [39] Senator Heath Macquarrie quipped of Canada's first Prime Minister that "While the lovable [Robbie] Burns went in for wine, women and song, his fellow Scot, John A. did not chase women and was not musical!" [40] 'Gung Haggis Fat Choy' is a hybrid of Chinese New Year and Robbie Burns Day, celebrated in Vancouver since the late 1990s. [41] [42]

Outstanding and honourable people... Haggis, bagpipes, drafty castles, Burns, Wallace, bankers, Speyside single malt, poets and warriors... Scots represent the best of the world.
