Thanks very much to Neil Young and @GlasgowRevBooks for this generous review of my Burns monograph.
‘This study into Burns’ politics and its cultural resonance has the narrative drive of a good novel and the insight of a shrewd observer.’ 🙏

Making music with new Greek friends as the sun goes down over the Ionian Sea. How’s this? ‘Loch Lomond’ with a bouzouki solo … a good song has no boundaries.

Ferguson is also famous by association, as it was at his house in 1787 that a chance meeting occurred between two #Scots#literary giants, #RobertBurns and a young #SirWalterScott.📚
Lochlea are located a few miles south of Kilmarnock, in Ayrshire. Lochlea Farm is known for being the home and workplace of Robert Burns from 1777 to 1784 - thus making it the only Scottish distillery that Burns lived at.

Robert Burns at Rosslyn Castle by James Nasmyth (1808–1890). Painted from a sketch by the artist's father, Alexander Nasmyth. Pic: Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture.
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
- Robert Burns
Just clarifying the provenance of our 4th ed of The Wealth of Nations, once owned by Robert Burns - wishing that we had such donation documentation for all our books! Given to @uofglibrary by Frank Miller in 1943 @GerardCarruthe2@ScottpScottp
