Robert Burns
Considered the national poet of Scotland. Born in 1759 in Alloway, he wrote lyrics and songs in Scots and in English.
In July 1786 Robert Burns published his first major volume of verse, Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect.
One of Robert Burns’s best-known poems is the mock-heroic “Tam o' Shanter,” published in 1791. He is also well known for his contribution to over three hundred songs that celebrate love, friendship, work, and drink with often hilarious and tender sympathy, such as “Auld Lang Syne.”
Burns Night is celebrated every year on 25 January in honor of Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet.
