Extractions: Robert Burns was the son of a struggling tenant farmer in Ayrshire, who nevertheless joined with neighbours to employ a university-trained tutor for their children. When very young, Burns read the Bible, the English Augustans and Gray; later he immersed himself in the poetry of Milton and the sentimental fiction of Sterne. The surrounding countryside was rich in folklore, but the vernacular poetry of Robert Fergusson came his way only by chance and it was not until his early twenties that he realised the possibilities of contemporary literature in Scots. Meanwhile the privation and overwork of subsistence farming began the rheumatic heart-disease that was to cause his premature death. His father died less than a month after averting bankruptcy proceedings in 1784 and Burns, as head of the family, leased a farm at Mossgeil. He began to circulate verse satires on Calvinist extremists, and in July 1786 the Church avenged itself by exacting public penance from him and Jean Armour who was pregnant by him and whom he acknowledged as his wife in 1788. 'Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect' was published in 1786 and enthusiastically received and Burns spent the winters of 1786-87 and 1787-88 in Edinburgh, acting out with increasing unease the role of child of nature and untutored poet of the plough in which the Edinburgh gentry had cast him, seeking relief in the city's hard-drinking low life.

ROBERT BURNS' MONUMENT

Extractions: , and Ayrshire roses, were respectively done, gratuitously, by Mr. Robert Buchan, house-painter, and Mr. Eagle Henderson, nursery-man, both of Edinburgh. The total expense of the statue and its temple appears to have exceeded 3300. The statue has now been shown for several seasons to the public, in the building erected for it; but it is to be regretted that the situation proves to be somewhat confined, so that the figure is not seen to full advantage, and also that, from the neighbourhood of several factories of various kinds) the marble is liable to be somewhat contaminated in the course of time by smoke. It is to be hoped that some step may be taken to avert a result which the public could not fail greatly to deplore, both on account of the beauty of the object as a work of art, and the homage due to the illustrious person whom it represents.

Haggis
All about why there's such a fuss made about haggis, including robert burns' poem.
http://www.rabbie-burns.com/haggis/

Extractions: The naturally queasy may balk, while those with heavily girded stomachs experience thunderous rumblings. Just as the turkey leftovers have all been well and truly curried, the mince pies are growing mould in the tin and the chocolate boxes have long been pillaged, thoughts of Scotland's most famous dish come to mind. Sated or not, soon it will be time to sample again that pudding of puddings that swells straining paunches still further. Still, like the festive binge, it's only once a year. It was not always so. For although Rabbie Burns was obviously more than fond of the "glorious sight" that was "warm-reekin' rich" on his tea table, it wasn't a feast that would have been reserved for special occasions - or indeed for his own birthday dinner. In fact, says Jo Macsween, it was a common enough stand-by not yet elevated by rousing Scots elegy. "It would have been a bit like having fish on a Friday. You would have eaten it about once a week. But it was no trivial issue to Burns. He talks a lot about the dishes that look down on haggis" - French ragout and fricassee - "And he's saying that after you've had haggis you're fit to fight anyone."
