Robert Burns isn’t just for 25th January when we slit open a haggis and raise a glass of whisky. Nor is he only for New Year as we hold hands and sing ‘Auld Lang Syne’. Even now, over 200 years after he last put down his pen his words remain with us. Scots Wha Hae, To A Mouse, My Love is Like a Red, Red, Rose…
The Bard left his mark not just on Scotland but around the world. That’s why thousands head to southwest Scotland every year to follow in Rabbie’s footsteps. Join your professional guide as you head on a virtual tour through Burns’ Country using ‘live-conferencing software’ making use of maps, photographs, street-view videos and plenty of story-telling.
From the humble cottage where he grew up, to the bustling market town where he spent his last days (and considerable time in the local inns). You discover the people and places that inspired the poet, now immortalised in his words.
