It’s that time of year again. I’m looking forward to an evening of poetry, haggis and song with good friends.
My favourite contemporary of Robert Burns is Mary Somerville.
Mary had a much loved uncle who was keen on punning. Burns publicly made fun of Mary’s uncle’s punning and the uncle never punned again.
Burns, possibly a bit of an arse.
