The hypocrisy surrounding Burns and slavery has been conveniently swept under the rug. There’s too much money to be made from our National Bard today. So let’s just ignore it eh . “The act of a desperate man”. Feeble excuse for a hypocrite.

He kept our Scottish identity alive, when it was just the candles flame after Culloden. He fought not with swords but with the pen and the mither tongue.

Thank you. It's a wonderful video.

Excellent documentary. I especially liked the fact that the presenter was himself a Scottish writer. He chose to hone in on the many artistc compromises and contadictions Burns made either voluntarily or otherwise. Thankfully they didn't stifle his genius. Very enjoyable programme.

this grime -

59:13 to 59:15 is pretty much modern Scotland tho !

I watch this video just about every year in Jan. The does justice to this passionate man in the time that is alloted. I only wish it longer, a great piece of art, thank you.

Edinboro?

God bless the people's poet

❤ Such a good documentary. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

I just brain blazed too hard & danny brought me here.. fascinating to find out about robert burns's life

So what happened to his poor wife and childern? It distresses me greatly to think of Jean giving posthumous birth and no income to keep it and her other children from starving in a workhouse. His literary legacy lived on, but we need to know about his mortal legacy as well.

The poet he was, to the Scottish , some we know and some we don't is fame to all who knew him best, so read and site his words when his birthday is here we never will forget, Rabbie ever more always to your words be known to all whom knows them best.

If you are scottish, share this with your children. It's your duty to keep the flame burning forever. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

EDINBURGH....edin-burra.

Aberdeen 🇬🇧

Such a well done, nuanced presentation. As someone who has made a subsistence living as an artist in my youth, I wonder if Burns could have avoided the hypocrisy label noted at the end, had he been compensated abundantly for his genius and contribution to the literary reputation of Scotland.

@terry#66 he don't know 🤣🤣🤣

Does he know ??? 🤣

Fantastic!

So, John Lennon would approve of slave driving? 🤔

CovidImages need to be invested more than half19

Did you know, Robert Burns’ daughter (Elizabeth) was burried in whitburn?

Line dancing to me is how the devil and hitler spend their free time

With all due respect Mate , you know very little about the poetic fire of our dear Rabbi Burns . And as for a readin' - Nay , ye cannie read it like that !

I know nobody’s gonna believe me but I’m Robert Burns 50 times granddaughter I’m not joking I am

He is my ancestor and I'm not joking

Can you do the jolly beggars right?

aye the deils awa,

Intriguing.

Delighted to have found this! Happy New Year!

Love the weedgie "to a mouse"!!

oh once I loved a bonnie lass, Aye, and I love her still And whilst that virtue warms my breast I love my handsome Nell As Bonnie lassies I hae seen, An mauny full as braw But for a modest, gracefu' mein The like I never saw.. A bonie lass, I will confess Is pleasant to the e'e (eye) But without some better qualities She's no the lass for me But Nelly's looks are Blyth and sweet And what is best of aw' (all) Her reputation is complete And fair without a flaw... She dresses aye sae clean an' neat Both decent an' gente'el And then theirs somethin' in her gait Gars ony dress look we'el A gawdy dress and gentle air may slightly touch the heart but it's innocence and modesty that polishes the dart Tis this in Nelly pleases me tis this enchants my soul for absolutely, in my breast She reigns without control. beautiful ❤❤❤

I am breaking out my kilt for a burns supper tomorrow

Id like to know more about the family tree of robbie burns leading to current family, I was told by my late grandfather that we were direct descendants. I would love to know more.

Robert Burns eat the Burne

Under 500 views is ridiculous. Robert Burns can truly and without overstating, be considered as a genius. Way ahead of progression and enlightenment. Absolutely, poetic.

Best documentry ever on the Heaven Taught Plooman.

excellent documentary
