At church this morning, we were exploring why the words of someone, born 250 years ago, who only lived for 37 years should have made such an impact, not just on his home shores, but all around the world. The poetry of Robert Burns is timeless, his social critique as relevant today as it was in the 18th century. And he particularly railed at the hypocrisy that was rife in the pillars of the kirk. Now, why is that sounding just a bit familiar?(Burns Cottage, Alloway)
