Learn About Auld Lang Syne
The popular New Year’s Eve song, “Auld Lang Syne,” which means “Old Long Since” or the days of long ago, is based on the poem of the same name written by Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788. The song is about cherishing longtime friendships and taking time to reminisce together. “Auld Lang Syne” has a long, fascinating history that will take your kids on a journey to Scotland: the land of legends, majestic mountains, ancient castles, scenic railways, and home to the world’s first floating wind farm.
