I lost half my post there. So here it si again, since there was an interesting link in the part I lost. An dthe link I did include went somewhere maybe not wholly inappropriate, but not intended:

Here's a page about Beaver Day - looks like fun. I didn't know the Beaver was supposed to be the National Animal of Canada though, I'd always assumed it was the Moose.

And since there is every hope that the Beaver will be reintroduced into Scotland, perhaps Beaver Day and Burns Night could be brought together.

Maybe someone will feel moved to pen a Burns type tribute to this noble and industrious animal with its so highly evocative name...
