Today marks 250 years since the birth of Robert Burns, the world's best known poet.
For details of what's on to mark this occasion, please visit Homecoming Scotland.
This year's Burns night marks the 15th year of publication of the first online guide to Scotland, available at The soc.culture.scottish FAQ pages where of course you can read all about Robert Burns. See also the comprehensive information on Wikipedia regarding Robert Burns as well as the complete works of Robert Burns on Burns Country. A particular favourite of mine is the song is there for honest poverty (for a' that).
Enjoy!
