For your next
Burns Supper
Compiled by Peter D Wright
It is never to
early to plan ahead for your next, or indeed first, Burns Supper, and
the intention of this feature is to give you a ready accessible
collection of the National Bard’s material for the 25th of
January each year. Over
fifteen weeks we have given you a variety
of items by Robert Burns, which should prove useful to you.
Interest in the
life and work of Robert Burns has never faltered and, indeed, as we now
approach the 250th anniversary of his birth in 2009, this
should grow apace. He holds a special place in the hearts of his
countrymen and his appeal spans the continents. A genius, he spoke for
his people and captured their hopes and fears, their joys and sorrows,
in poetry and song. The Flag collection reflects this.
