See here for a ‘translation’ of the poem.

See some of my Burns Night readings from the past couple of years here and here.

And see also a couple of things I’ve written about Burns over the years:

* ‘Robert Burns Night: a kitsch memorial worth celebrating’ (for Edinburgh University’s student newspaper, appropriately called The Student, 2020).

* ‘Of Burns and Dawkins: Some Interesting Connections’ (A Substack post from last year)
