Sam Heughan and Gerard Butler in kilts as throwback snap resurfaces after Burns Night

As many Scots all over the world celebrated Burns Night yesterday, lots of celebs took to social media to mark the occasion.

Outlander actor Sam Heughan re-shared a post of him and Hollywood actor Gerard Butler with their mate, dressed up in kilts.

The original picture was taken at a Burns Supper in 2019, with the two actors smiling for the camera.

While Mr Butler went for a more traditional look finished off with a bow tie, Sam paired his kilt with what appears to be a signed Scotland rugby shirt.

Yesterday to mark the very Scottish occasion, patriotic Sam shared a special dedication to Burns Night on his Instagram.

Reciting no other than Rabbie Burns himself, Sam treated fans to a very Scottish version of ' Scotch Drink'.

And fans were loving the video and sent their best from different corners of the world on Burns Nights.

One wrote: "Sláinte Sam! This accent is music to my ears."

Another commented: "Slàinte Mhath from Canada!"

Another said: "Happy #burnsday cheers from Oz."

While one wrote: "Celebrating with a Sassenach hot toddy!"
