Babbie Burns Brass horse harness decorations with strap
"Robert Burns
(25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796), also known familiarly as
Rabbie Burns
, the
National
Bard
,
Bard of Ayrshire
and the
Ploughman Poet
and various other names and
epithets,
was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the
national poet
of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the
Scots language
, although much of his writing is in English and a light
Scots dialect
, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these writings his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest."
"He is regarded as a pioneer of the
Romantic movement
, and after his death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both
liberalism
and
socialism
, and a cultural icon in Scotland.
As well as making original compositions, Burns also collected
folk songs
from across Scotland, often revising or
adapting
them. His poem (and song) "
Auld Lang Syne
" is often sung at
Hogmanay
(the last day of the year), and "Scots Wha Hae"
served for a long time as an unofficial
national anthem
of the country. Other poems and songs of Burns that remain well known across the world today include "
A Red, Red Rose
", "
A Man's a Man for A' That
", "
To a Louse
", "
To a Mouse
", "
The Battle of Sherramuir
", "
Tam o' Shanter
" and "
Ae Fond Kiss
".
