"If ever a poet understood the character of his nation, he was Robert Burns. The language he was most fluent in wasn’t so much Scots or English – it was the language of the heart. All too human in his personal life, he carried that humanity over onto the page. Nothing was too small or too large to escape his notice, from a mouse in the mud to God in his heavens. A poet for all seasons, Burns speaks to all, soul to soul." Ianin Macintosh Burns is considered by many to be one of the greatest poets who ever lived. He was born on 25 January 1759, the son of a poor tenant farmer in Kincardineshire in the north east of Scotland in 1721. As a writer he extolled his beloved homeland, farm life, and traditional culture in such a transcendent way as to named the National Poet of Scotland. Burns died of rheumatic fever in 1796 at the age of 37. In 2009 a STV poll named him "The Greatest Scot" of all time.

| Scotch Drink by Robert Burns "Let other poets raise a fracas Bout vines, an' wines, an' drucken Bacchus, An' crabbit names an'stories wrack us, An' grate our lug: I sing the juice Scotch bear can mak us, In glass or jug. O thou, my muse! guid auld Scotch drink! Whether thro' wimplin worms thou jink, Or, richly brown, ream owre the brink, In glorious faem, Inspire me, till I lisp an' wink, To sing thy name!" . |
