We came to Ayr to see your hoose,
And pay our due respects
The rain was runnin' like a sluice
An' drippin' doon our necks
We saw nae man like you, Rab,
Nae lassie like Jean Armour
I don't know where you are the noo,
But you're better off, and warmer
Mike (Auchterless)
LOVE this!
See this new video from one of the forum favourites Ruth Aisling (hopefully it may also encourage people to visit Dumfries)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt7ZtlTiSso
Thanks, Mike, for the annual birthday poem to Robbie Burns. Happy birthday to ye, Rab!
Thank you, Mike! I had the pleasure of visiting the Burns birthplace and museum last May, as well as the Brig O'Doon!
There's a week long series of events (a Winter Festival) in Dumfries every year to mark Burns Night- https://bigburnssupper.com/
and this is the live streamed Big Burns Supper held at the Loreburne in Dumfries tonight, as part of the festival (a modern version of a traditional Burns Supper)

The festival would be a very good reason for a winter visit to the South West of Scotland.
