It’s often used on burn’s night as a giving of thanks before guests tuck into their burn’s night dinner. A grace is a prayer which is often said before eating, to give thanks to god for the food. The tradition often comes from a christian religious background, but many other religions have ways of giving thanks for food as well. Selkirk grace is a specific grace that is popular in scotland. The original selkirk grace is said in a dialect of scotland called lallans- the lowlands scots dialect. One of the greatest myths about selkirk grace is that it was written by robert burns - a poet who has an entire evening dedicated to celebrating him in scotland (burns night). Burns was said to have delivered the grace at a dinner party, held by the earl of selkirk in 1794. But at that time, selkirk grace was already 80-100 years old, and was originally called the galloway grace or the covenanters’ grace. Burns was of course a well known individual, so he may have brought some popularity to the grace, which is why people began to call it the selkirk grace, as his speech in selkirk became well known. Burns was known to recite it at many dinners, and so people often mistakenly thought that he wrote it.
