‘Address to Edinburgh’ (1786) by Robert Burns


Listen Later

S3E95 A belated Burns Night celebration, featuring one of Burns' lesser liked poems. But one of the only poems to inspire a toilet seat. Tune in for an exploration of Burns' time in Edinburgh, the Enlightenment's paradoxical attitude to Scottishness, and lots of rhyme-whining. 

 

Title Music: 'Not Drunk' by The Joy Drops. All other music by Epidemic Sound.
