IS "BURNS" AN IRISH NAME?

My wonderful, funny, kind, bootlegging (yes) grandfather's last name was Burns. Now I think of Burns as a Scottish name but he insisted it was Irish (maybe he was a wannabe?). Anyway if you know of any Irish Burns, please tell me!

 Grandad Burns 1898 - 1972

Which is a somewhat unusual lead-in to my St. Patrick's Day card. But here it is:
