With lots of things to see and do, South Anglesey is one Wales’ most popular destinations. Overlooking the Menai Straight, which separates Anglesey from the rest of Wales, are the impressive remains of Beaumaris Castle, another of Edward I’s ‘iron ring’. South Anglesey also has the distinction of containing somewhere with the longest place name in Britain at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
