Robert Burns lived, worked and died in Dumfries,
Scotland. The Burns Howff Club is a society celebrating
his life, works and contribution to Scottish
heritage.
The
Burns Howff Club was formed in the Globe Inn, Dumfries,
south west Scotland in 1889, and meets on the 25th
January each year to celebrate the anniversary of the
birth of Robert Burns in 1759 with a "Burns Supper". The
Club takes its name from a reference by Robert Burns to
the Globe Inn being his favourite "Howff", an old
Scottish term for a meeting place.
The
Howff Club has an extensive library of Burns works and
the works of other Scottish poets and literary figures.
Members are always pleased to welcome visitors to the
Globe Inn and Dumfries, and it is always a particular
pleasure to host Burns Suppers at The Globe Inn or at a
venue of your choice.
