Is there anything new to say about Robert Burns? John Cairney says
it's time to trash Burns the Brand and come on the trail of the
real Robert Burns. He is the best of travelling companions on this
entertaining journey to the heart of the Burns story.
Internationally known as 'the face of Robert Burns', John Cairney
believes that the traditional Burns tourist trail urgently needs to
find a new direction. In an acting career spanning forty years he
has often lived and breathed Robert burns on stage. On the Trail of
Robert Burns shows just how well he has got under the skin of
Burn's complex character. This fascinating journey around Scotland
is a rediscovery of Scotlands national bard as a flesh and blood
genius. On the Trail of Robert Burns outlines five tours, mainly in
Scotland. Key sites include: Alloway - Burn's birthplace. Tam O'
Shanter draws on the Alloway Kirk witch-stories first heard by
Burns in his childhood; Mossgiel - Between 1784 and 1786 in a
phenomenal burst of creativity Burns wrote some of his most
memorable poems including "Holy Willie's Prayer" and "To a Mouse";
Kilmarnock - The famous Kilmarnock edition of "Poems Chiefly in the
Scottish Dialect" published in 1786; Edinburgh - Fame and Clarinda
(among others) embraced him; and Dumfries - Burns died at age 37.
The trail ends at the Burns mausoleum in St Michael's churchyard.
