I am ever yours, Robert Burns
Robert Burns (1759-1796), Scotland's national bard, is best-remembered for his timeless songs and poems. Yet he was also an accomplished letter-writer who corresponded with over 200 people during his short life. This small but significant selection of manuscripts on display at the Writers' Museum focuses on 8 recipients of letters from Burns between 1783 and 1796. The letters themselves help to reveal something of Burns' character - his strengths and weaknesses, his humour and seriousness, his frankness and common-sense, his friends and acquaintances, his family ties, his love of his country and his history.
