I’m a very confused American who’s only just learned of the Burns feast and the address of the haggis and whatnot, but what a sight and what an experience to behold! Scotland is a fascinating place, surely
I’ll be addressing the haggis today, thought I’d come here for inspiration He really has tangible passion for the poem and it’s meaning, excellent reading 🙏
Absolutely brilliant. Well done. Robbie Burns night tomorrow and we are in lockdown. I am preparing a three course meal with the haggis. There is only the two of us this year. Happy Burns night from Newcastle.
It’s interesting seeing the extreme of comments within this thread. Anyone who has delivered a toast to the haggis to an audience, especially if they dont really know the language or history of the ode, in my honest opinion you HAVE to annotate it with actions otherwise people dont have a scoobie what you are on about. With the actions and a bit of humour as Cammie has delivered here sells it to that audience. Great theatre too, well done sir!
I agree…I didn’t understand 99% of the words but I adore the Scottish culture, I have learned to play the highland bagpipes and I’ve visited Scotland which I loved so much, I felt so at home there, I have a very fierce stubbornness about me too so I think it’d be a good Scot’s woman! I loved learning about Robert and the address to the haggis was so lively that it didn’t matter if I didn’t understand the words, I understood the passion!
that is outstanding! I am doing the address a week on Saturday but can't promise quite the same dramatic flair! Can I ask, what is the Gaelic toast said after the address?
Now, I liked the performance, very enthusiastic and entertaining, but I, as a non-native English speaker, could only understand maybe every 5th word, sadly xD the captions were no help either, so I will go Google that poem and then come back and hopefully understand a bit more xD
Shame it was filmed with the open door in the background. If the camera was at the door or the door was closed it would have been more suitably "solemn" a shame. Well delivered!
The finest address Ah’ve ewer heard! Rabbie Burns would be sae prood! Ah hape yin day tae try a haggis, bit Ah need tae go tae Scotland fae an authentic yin! Eht’s oan the bucket list!

And long live the memory of Robert Burns! Tae many mare a Burn’s night in future! Wi Undying Respect Tae Ye Aw, -Beardless Odin
Address to the Haggis, delivered by a Haggis! One of the best and most incomprehensible y'all see. LOve the piper's mainly dead-pan expression throughoot. Probably thinking, 1) How much they payin' me? 2) Do I have to stay and eat more fucking haggis? Scotland the Brave def best tune instead of the usual crappy Burns' tunes.
To A Haggis, with my own approximate interpretations in brackets: Fair fa' your honest sonsie face, Great chieftain o' the puddin'-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: (ingredients) Weel are ye worthy of a grace As lang's my arm. (Welcome, great meal - you stand up against the best of them and are worthy of the highest praise.) The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies (buttocks) like a distant hill, Your pin would help to mend a mill In time of need, While through your pores the dews distil like amber bead. (Beautiful big meal, you are a comfort and would feed an army. Your juices bead on your skin like whisky) His knife see rustic labour dight, And cut you up wi' ready slight, Trenching your gushing entrails bright, Like ony ditch: And then, oh what a glorious sight, Warm-reekin', rich! (He cuts you open like a ditch and your delightful innards spill out, warm, fragrant and rich) Then horn for horn (spoon) they stretch and strive, De'il tak the hindmost, on they drive, Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve (swollen bellies, by & by) Are bent like drums: Then auld guidman, most like to ryve, (burst) "Bethankit' hums. (Dig in, one and all, have your fill until you are fit to burst! The old man at the head of the table leads us in thanks) Is there that oe'r his French ragout, Or olio that wad staw a sow, Or fricassee wad make her spew Wi' perfect scunner, (disgust) Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view, On sic (such) a dinner? (All you with your fancy foreign food, would you dare to look down on this Haggis?) Poor devil! See him owre his trash As feckless as a withere'd rash, His spindle shank a guid whip lash, His nieve (fist) a nit (nut): Through bloody flood or field to dash, Oh how unfit! (That foreign muck won't make a fighting man of you; look at his withered limbs as he eats his awful food) But mark the rustic, haggis-fed, The trembling earth resounds his tread, Clap (held) in his walie nieve (ample fist) a blade, He'll mak it whissle: An' legs, an' arms, an' heads will sned (fall) Like taps o' thrissle (thistles). (Look at the strong haggis fed brave, with his powerful footsteps. He will slay his enemies like thistles) Ye Powers, wha make mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o' fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinkin' ware (watery slop) That jaups in luggies: (splashes in small dishes) But if you wish her gratefu' prayer, Gie her a haggis! (If you want to feed your people well, give them haggis!)

Ray Mason It seems that there is some confusion here. It is very clear to me - knowing most of Burns’s work - that “To a Haggis” was always intended to be a humorous piece. I’m always confused when the gags are treated with some ill-placed reverence. The Haggis is not the “honoured tradition” some imagine to be. It is a living, vibrant part of Scottish culture. If you want to treat it as a museum piece, THAT is what would have Burns spinning in his grave.
Gosh, a reply within minutes, although, I suppose it helps your bookings to be on the computer all day. Please don't be so sensitive and if you wish to deliver a philippic (you'll find a dictionary nearby), do it properly, all this - now, what do the Americans call it, oh,yes, passive aggression is not becoming of a 'troubadour' . Funnily enough, I was looking at UA-cam with the aim of booking an entertainer to perform at a charity evening Burns supper in 2020. I now know whom not to contact! . Good luck
I have an iPhone. It alerts me when I have emails. I don't know if you've heard of this wizardry. If you were looking for a speaker for 2022, I might be concerned. Luckily my book is full thus far, since some people do actually understand Burns. Good luck finding someone for your wee fundraiser.
Am a a Scot an a couldny understand much oh that But here is what I thought he said the haggis story the lowly wee haggis lives high in the Scottish heilands it is rarely seen but ,it’s hunted for it’s tasty guts once a year for a week it comes down the mountain to shag (mate ) as it’s known here in Scotland it’s when the haggi hunters set their creels (traps) to catch these tasty wee bastards, they are taken to markets and sold by a professional haggateer and only sold in braces (two) hence the name a brace of haggises then to kitchens all over the land and the prairies of Scotland where they are boiled to perfection by usually a lush (drunk cook) and are flung on a plate with bashed tattles and smashed turnips. ( neeps)as it was the best the lush could muster .so before I give you your haggis supper gobble it doon and don’t ask questions about it’s eating habits but you can trust it’s magic flavours .so eat up and and take a big swally ( mouthful) enjoy Bonny appyteet
Thanks for that. I had an old Scottish friend who died hunting haggis. Surprisingly dangerous in numbers. I warned him all he needed to do was run downhill, as they couldn't follow, but he didn't listen.
@@Goochen he didnae know about the ben roon rifle made for haggi hunters it’s barrel is bent to the right for right hauners or left for left for left hauners or curved up for English bastard grousing the haggi having twa short legs. An twa lang legs can only run aroon the hills wi the long legs doon an the short wans up and the lefties the other way so ye realy have tae ken aboot yer haggi tae be a good hunter yer pal obviously diddnea and that’s why he’s deid noo al raise a gless tae him cheers

This is one of the great recitations of the Ode, truly.
Brilliant. Love the passion, the histrionics, the acting. This brings it all to life with great theatre!
Tae Rabbie Burns 🏴
Cameron is very talented and brings the Scotch Language and Burn's wonderful poetry to life. Easily the best I've ever seen and I've seen a good few.
Wishing everyone a delicious Burns supper tonight!
Outstandingly iconic! I’d really like to try haggis one day just because of this haha

Totally agree. Anyone who thinks this ode needs a solemn, reverential delivery wants their head testing

I have longed to hear this poet’s works in his beautiful language!
Good Job with the toast. Thanks for posting.
Thats a powerful scottish voice. Nicely done.
Fantastic, that was brilliant!
Now THAT is how it’s meant to be done!
As an American this is beautiful. Much respect.
I'd like to see his address to the saveloy

unsurprising, since the thing is in Scots
Tonight’s the night!!
Happy Burns Night everyone!
Beautiful
Sounds like Rab C Nesbitt having a row with a sausage 😂😂
Lol. It's my turn this year and that's exactly the vibe I'm aiming for 😂
Shame it was filmed with the open door in the background. If the camera was at the door or the door was closed it would have been more suitably "solemn" a shame. Well delivered!
It's like Brian Blessed saying the famous words
Should have gone to Spec Savers.
That was so awesome:)
Who's the piper? I'm a piper. They're definitely using Ezee drone tenor reeds. Also I LOVE the drama in there!!!!!!!!!
I havent a clue what hes saying but it sounds entertaining
GORDON ROWAN LOOKS YOUNG HERE!
He aye looks young, till he takes his glengarry off 😂
There's more spit on that Haggis than Haggis
did they eat any ??
Aye, see you Jimmy!
Da faq did he say ?
Happy Burns Day the day!
Wow!!
BEST EVER! 😆 👏🏻
Forget the haggis, invite a few pipers to your home and love them all night long!
Can't believe I'm nearly 28 years old scottish and have NEVER been to a haggis dinner
It's not too late to go
My Ode to the Haggis "Here's Your Sheeps Guts, Dig IN Ya poor bastards and try to keep in down."
weird... just weird... imagine mr bean doing the address...
hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck yeah.
There's always that one person at the table who needs to film with their phone no matter what's going on.
It's more enjoyable with closed captioning.

One thing too say ewwww
Haggis is really tasty it’s got lots of spices. It’s doesn’t really look good though

very poor and overacted. shame that there was no real emotion in it
