The Address to the Haggis

The address was written by Scotland’s national bard Robert Burns. It is popular wherever Scots gather and is part of the traditional Burns supper.

Before it is served the haggis is piped into the room carried by the chef. It is then set down on a table and is addressed. The address extols the virtue of the Haggis over all other dishes and claims the haggis to be Chief o’ the Puddin’ race!
