Barbour Way of Life

Episode 13: Burns Night

It’s those days spent exploring and finding adventure in the everyday. Spending time with friends and family, savouring a slower pace of life. It’s the day trips, the long walks, the weekend getaways and still getting out in the downpours. It’s that pull you feel to be out in nature’s playground, no matter how old you get. 

The Barbour Way of Life is tough to describe. But you know it when you feel it. For January’s It’s a Way of Life episode, we swapped the office for the Scottish hills of Dunkeld to meet Alistair Heather – writer, presenter, and champion of all things Scottish. With Burns Night just around the corner, this episode dives into the heart of Scotland’s rich culture and heritage, as seen through Ali’s unique (and very entertaining) lens.

Watch the episode below.

 


 



Ali brings us up to speed on the history of Burns Night – because who doesn’t need a refresher before the haggis arrives? From Auld Lang Syne, sung at New Year from Times Square to Tokyo, to Tam o’ Shanter, he reveals why Robert Burns is more than just a name in your school history lesson. 


From the ceremonial haggis to Burns’ timeless words on kindness, and friendship, this episode reminds us of what really matters: good company, good stories, and maybe a wee dram to wash it all down. As Burns himself believed, if you’ve got good friends, you’ve already struck gold.
