Robert Burns, widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, was born 25 January 1759. two miles south of Ayr, in Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland.
In celebration we will feature some quotes and poems by Robert Burns over the next week.

And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.”

Happy New Year!

I'm back from a couple weeks in Scotland, where I had a wonderful time! Who knew how beautiful Scotland can be in the winter. Here's a picture I took on January 1, 2012 of Neist Point, on the Isle of Skye.
