Burns Portrait
Robert Burns was born on 25th January 1759 and died at the age of just 37 on 21st July 1796.

Poet, farmer, excise-man, nationalist, radical, humanitarian, song-writer and lover are just some of the names which can describe him.

Born in Ayrshire, he toured Scotland as Caledonia's Bard, but Inveraray was the furthest north he was to venture on the west coast.
