Who was Robert Burns?
Robert Burns (January
25, 1759 – July
21, 1796) was a poet and a lyricist. He is widely regarded as the
national poet of Scotland, and is the best-known of
the poets who
have written in the Scots
language. Burns also collected folk songs
from across
Scotland, often revising or adapting them. His poem (and
song) "Auld
Lang
Syne" is often sung at Hogmanay
(New
Year), and "Scots Wha Hae" served for a long
time as an
unofficial national anthem of the country.
