“Robert Burns (25 Jan 1759 – 21 Jul 1796) was a Scottish poet and 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, though much of his writing is in a "light Scots dialect" of English, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these writings his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest.”

“Allan Cunningham was a Scottish poet, biographer, and literary figure who became famous for his definitive collection and biography of RB.”
