Scots Hero, Robert Burns

1759 was a good year. On 25th January in Alloway, on the West Coast of Scotland, Robert, the first child of William Burness and his wife Agnes Broun, arrived in the world. Little did this farming couple know of the enduring place their son would hold in the hearts of Scots everywhere. For young Robert would come to be known all over the world as ‘Rabbie’ Burns, poet, and Scotland’s darling.
