With an Introduction by Donald McFarlan. Robert Burns, the most
celebrated of all Scottish poets, is remembered with great devotion
- his birthday on 25th January provokes fervour and festivity among
Scots and many others the world over. Born in 1759 into miserable
rustic poverty, by the age of eighteen Burns had acquired a good
knowledge of both classical and English literature. In June 1786
his first collection of verse, Poems Chiefly in the Scottish
Dialect, which included 'To a Mouse' and 'The Cotter's Saturday
Night', was greeted with huge acclaim by all classes of society.
His later poems and ballads include 'Auld Lang Syne', the beautiful
song 'My Love is like a Red Red Rose', 'Highland Mary', 'Scots Wha
Hae' and his masterpiece, 'Tam o'Shanter'.
