Celebrate Burns Night

Find a great choice of Rabbie Burns works at www.hcbooksonline.com

Robert Burns (1759 –1796) (also known as Rabbie Burns, Scotland’s favourite son, the Ploughman Poet, and in Scotland as simply The Bard) was a Scottish poet and a lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a “light” Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these pieces, his political or civil commentary is often at its most blunt.
