Who was Robert Burns?
Robert Burns is widely regarded as Scotland’s national bard. Born on 25th January 1759, in his short life he wrote hundreds of poems and was also a prolific songwriter. He penned his first poem at just 15 years old. His most famous lyrical work is Auld Lang Syne, which is sung all over the world to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
Despite dying of rheumatic fever at 37 with just £1 to his name, Robert Burns now has more statues and monuments dedicated to him around the world than almost any other non-religious figure; only Queen Victoria and Christopher Columbus have more!
