Robert Burns Day, also known as Robbie or Rabbie Burns Day, marks the birth date of the 18th century poet famous for writing "Auld Lang Syne"; "To a Mouse"; and "A Red, Red Rose". 

The 2020 Newnan Robert Burns Scottish Heritage Weekend is set for Thursday, January 30 through Sunday, February 2.  This year's Newnan Burns Weekend features a Saturday night Scottish-themed dinner and dance with music by the Piper Jones Band, a Scottish trio with a piper; guitarist; and percussionist.  The trio also will perform on Sunday at Newnan Presbyterian Church as part of a Kirkin' service, a celebration of Scotland and Scottish heritage that's become a Scottish-American custom.
