Happy Burns Day! Are you celebrating the birthday of Robert Burns today? If so, what are you doing?

[@ebbbus]

your smile is lovely

Happy Burns day all!

Hi, Ruth. After watching your video, I went over to Internet Archives and downloaded a book of Burns' poetry. As always, thanks for your insights through another entertaining episode.

She absolutely is and has won awards for her work!

[@lauriepelayo296]

I'm learning so much about Scotland and my heritage watching your videos. I'm a Burns fan and, as I'm retiring, making sure that his poetry is on our library shelves to honor the poet of scotland. Happy Robert Burns Day.

[@ruthaisling]

Glad you are enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching!

[@fallentreewoodcrafts]

Dear Ruth, Your videos are excellent! I am travelling to Scotland for the first time in April. Part of my preparation for the trip is reading a chronological collection of all the songs and poems of Robert Burns. I'm at 1793, so I getting to the end. This video was such a treat to watch and was so well done. Thank you!

[@ruthaisling]

Wow that’s fantastic! Do you have a favourite poem or song so far?

[@fallentreewoodcrafts]

@@ruthaisling Stanzas on Naething, Address To the Unco Guid, or the Rigidly Righteous. Burns is poignant especially considering the time in history.

[@caroleminke6116]

I’m from Vermont where we have Robert Frost to celebrate & his upbringing is so similar to Robert Burns

[@karenclarke1778]

Thank you Ruth, my Father was a Scotsman from Falkirk, he fought in WWll in the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. Even though my parents immigrated, it was their second marriage each of them and they had me and immigrated to USA in 1965. My father retained his Scottish accent and often would recount to a mouse, and I have given his Robert Burns book with the tartan to my oldest son now who is 38. Thank you for this podcast. ♥️♥️♥️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I live in Huntington Beach in California

Awww lovely, that’s a great poem!

[@davegoodridge8352]

It pains me to say poetry is mostly dead here in the United States. I have always loved poetry all of my life. Robert Frost, Emily Dickerson and Robert Burns. They were my childhood hero’s. Their words spoke to me, and still do.

[@gmctedd]

Watching this video brought back some special memories. I visited the cottage and graveyard in Dumfries in 1980 as a child. I bought a small book of poems in the cottage as a gift for my mother. In 2008 my mother died on burn’s day and I still have the book today.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ruthaisling]

That is so nice you still have the book. What a special item to treasure ❤️

[@mamasinger49]

Loved this so much. I went to Edinburgh last week, my first time ever in Scotland and I am in awe, it was stunning. I now want to go back and see some of the places you have shown us on your videos, thank you for your wonderful videos. Scotland is a place like no other.

[@Murman22]

WOW! Ruth, What a complete and amazing story. Robert Burns is such a household name all around the world and yet I knew so very little about him. Thank you for opening my eyes to his history. I am sure he is looking down and is so proud of how you have presented his life and times. Well done.

[@ruthaisling]

I learnt a lot too and glad I went to all these places to find out more

It’s so surreal to here about Robert burn’s life it make you proud to be Scottish tam o shanter and the dressing of the haggis is 2 of my favourite poems, happy burns day Ruth!

[@barbararobbins5309]

This was my favorite video of yours of all times. I am a retired English teacher, so of course I enjoyed your Burns trail, and I even learned a few things about him I did not know. The most amazing thing is that they play Burns most famous song at the closing of shops??? That's crazy! My daughter and I just visited Alloway in November, 2024. We viewed the birthplace and the museum, and took the Burns path, but we really ran out of time before we had to catch our train, and did not get to view the gardens. Now I am sad that we traveled from Edinburgh instead of staying in Glasgow so we would not have had the nearly 3 hour train ride and would have had more time, We did that though, because we visited in November, and all of the highland tours we wanted to take from Glasgow were not available. Now I see, though , we only took the first part of the Burns trail, so we will be back to go to all the other places you mentioned, especially his grave and the Globe. It would also be fun to stay in the boat you rented in Glasgow, and journey from there. I can't believe we missed that lovely painted tunnel in Alloway, but I can highly recommend the soup they had in the gift shop. Thanks so much for this wonderful video and tribute to Burns on his birthday. Take the small donation to either feed Ernie, or by yourself a small amount of your favorite adult beverage.

[@ruthaisling]

Hi Barbara, that is very kind of you thank you. I’m so glad you enjoyed this video so much! The Globe is well worth a visit and I’ve heard the food is really great there so many an overnight in Dumfries would be a good idea too so you have time to properly visit everything. You can take the train between Dumfries and Glasgow too.

[@barbararobbins5309]

@@ruthaisling Thanks, that sounds great, an we get a train or bus from these points to go to the other places you mentioned like Mauchline. I am also an antique dealer who mainly sells antique jewelry now, but I have a lot of Mauchline, Fernware, and tartan in my stock so I'd like to go to all the places you visited, Would the best base for someone who doesn't have a car be Glasgow, or somewhere else?

[@ericrabinowitz2920]

What a wonderful "Video Address to a Scottish Poet" you've created! Thanks for the tour of Burns's land, family and works. It's sobering to think I've lived twice as long as he and accomplished half as much. I'm amazed how many people are passionate about him 266 years after his death. I've heard his 'Address to a Haggis' many times, but hearing it read by a Scot adds richness and texture to the words. Bravo and many thanks. Happy Burns Day to you too. :)

[@dave18888]

Hi Ruth, ive been in Australia/NZ for the past 12 years. I just came back home to Glasgow. Feeling abit lost. I never actually took the time to appreciate Scotland, now i feel anxious doing so. I've found you're videos by chsnce, they are very good. I'm from Glasgow

[@MrFoolingyu]

Amazing commentary so well put together and told. Burns' short life reminds me of the anecdote of the fellow who skids up to his graveside in a plume of dust, worn out and bedraggled, announcing: "Wow, what a ride!"

[@OrcasPurpose]

Wow now I know where the New Years song comes from. Brilliant! ❤😘🍻👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Got a lot more out of that than just the song.

[@ianswan381]

Happy Burns Day Ruth. My parents were from Glasgow Scotland and they were proud of their Scottish roots they both have passed on. I live an hour north of Montreal and don't hear any Scottish accents. I always look forward to your videos. You are very knowledgeable, entertaining and beautiful.

[@ruthaisling]

I'm glad you enjoyed the accents, Ian. Thank you for watching from Canada!

[@rogink]

Yes, Happy Burns day (yesterday). Here in the south of England I had a shock on the way to visit my dad. Turned into a side street and I heard that familiar screeching sound - then saw a piper outside a pub! In the pouring rain, no less! But I'd argue that Burns wasn't really born into poverty if his family owned their house. I was surprised when Ruth arrived and said this long building was his house. OK, makes sense that they had animals housed there are well - pretty normal I think. But if you could afford to move because your family got bigger, in my view that means you are at least comfortably off. Whatever, Ruth has reminded me SW Scotland is on my bucket list of areas to visit. I've spent a bit of time on the east coast up to Edinburgh - but not enough - or just headed up the A74 from the border. So I need to turn left at Gretna and explore :)

[@ruthaisling]

Yes, you should definitely come and explore as there is a plenty to see. And what a wonderful reminder, hearing the bagpipes! Thank you so much for watching!🙂

[@asacraig9876]

Just had a dram of Bowmore to celebrate, and reading a few verses of To A Mouse, which is a poem WAY ahead of its time! "I'm truly sorry Man's dominion, Has broken Nature's social union" echoes the ecological crisis we face now!

[@rosemarymee]

You have good taste - both in whisky and poetry. I thought Ruth’s Burns tribute was excellent- like having a friend show you round Burns country.

[@melaniehudson5190]

I was based in Ayrshire for three years and lived at the Navy base at Prestwick for a while, and also in Ayr. Our work’s Burn’s Night in the wardroom was always fabulous. We held our summer parties at the Brig ‘o Doon Hotel. Such fabulous nights. (I also met my husband in Burn’s country.) Thanks for the video. Fabulous as ever.

Hi Ruth, it’s only me that I’m so so sorry that I haven’t commented sooner the doctor is coming out each week and I’m on some strong medication as you know all about my health condition so I was asleep when you’re notification bell flashed up ~ I hope you’re okay and keeping well and that you’re managing to stay safe and warm, especially as the storm hit this weekend ~ I’m looking forward to setting down and watching but as usual I’m waiting for the teatime medication.

Thank you for the education today! I’ll never let January 25 pass now without reading and reciting some Burns. In my town we boast our own literary heritage that includes a mysterious poet who only signed his work with the letter H. He was only a little younger than Robert Burns but his poetry is very much in the style of Burns even though our best information is that he was a Londoner who emigrated here during our frontier era. It’s wonderful how an entire national character can be embodied in the work of one genius. Happy Robert Burns Day to you.
