l Robert Burns was a Scottish poet
and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated
worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his
writing is also in English and a light Scots dialect, accessible to an audience
beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these writings his
political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest.
