Tonight will see thousands of Scots at home and abroad raise a glass in tribute and celebration of the life and work of our national 'bard', Robert 'Rabbie' Burns, on the anniversary of his birth in 1759.
And that means plenty of folk here in Glasgow who will be holding their own Burns Night celebration.
The city has a long relationship with the National Bard and even had a pub in the Trongate named in his honour.

Glasgow was also the birthplace of Nancy McElhose, or 'Clarinda', the subject of Burns' love song 'Ae Fond Kiss' - and who was brought up in the Saltmarket area.
Speaking of pubs, there's one still standing today which played host to 'the Ploughman Poet' back in the day, unlike the long-gone Black Bull Inn in the Trongate where Burns stayed in 1787 and 1788.

In particular, The Saracen Head or 'Sarry Heid' as it's best known. Built in 1755, it is one of Glasgow's oldest watering holes and still stands across the road from the previous location in the Gallowgate.
Burns visited on more than one occasion between 1788 and 1791, and is thought to have enjoyed a Tennent's Ale or two, given the fact that Robert Tennent, one of the brothers who founded the company, was one of the original proprietors of the pub when it opened.
Speaking of Tennent's, his personal seal was found in a drawer at the brewery in 2016, over 200 years after it is thought he used it as a form of 'IOU' at the pub after spending the night there on the sauce.
The pub also used to have a poem written in Burns' own handwriting the year before his death in 1796 on display behind glass, but (apparently) it is no longer on display.
