A great documentary and a great performance by Iain Cuthbertson. I have lived in the Middle East and Africa for the last twelve years and this makes me feel terribly homesick.
Good grief, haven't we enough stuff about him? Monuments shops places he stayed, I heard he farted flower of scotland where the doon meets the sea, there will have to be another bloody monument there noo, where's it gonna end ? Oh flower of scotland, when will we see The end of this crap for you and me? Or forever shall we be, paying homage to burns the randy bxxtxxd?
But Pleasures are like poppies spread, You seize the flower, it’s bloom is dead; Or, like the snow fall on the river, A moment white, then melts for ever
and from Oakland, California! Then catch the moments as they fly, And use them as ye ought, man! Believe me, Happiness is shy, And comes not ay when sought, man!
8:38 To A Mouse 18:39 Tam O' Shanter 25:44 A Mans A Man For A' That 32:58 Holy Willie's Prayer 42:43 Ye Banks O' Doon 46:20 My Heart's In The Highlands
She says hear the stream, inspiration for Burns, and my book Butterfly in the Well mentions that sound in its Acknowledgements! The quiet waters by - famous and bright indeed.
ye see yon birkie, c'ad a lord, wha struts an stares, and a' that. tho hundreds worship at his word, he's but a coof for a' that. for a' that and a' that, his riband star, and a' that, the man of independent mind. he looks and laughs at a' that. #geniuspoet
Radical stuff in the years after the French Revolution and the English King, Mad King George was feeling his neck, having lost the American Colonies only a few years before, and Republicanism in the air. But Burns Star has shone brightly long after the Hanoverian kings have been consigned to the dustbin of history
A man who supposedly lived in absolute poverty yet found time to lie about in fields romanticising and writing stuff that rhymes. Mostly in a language the rest of human kind can't decipher. As an Ayrshire man with knowledge of dumfries, ayrshire, glasgow and doric dialects, I find there's still 10 to 20 percent I find hard. I have to say, he fled the working farm life he was brought into. I see him as a lazy dreamer of a man, he has to have been and to describe him as unselfish is stupid, he'd a family to support and had his heed in the clouds. Hero??? No, they are selfless, take a bullet for someone, run into a blaze for a wean etc not write poems for Christ's sake!!
Excellent documentary - thanks for sharing, Robert Burns = Scottish finest
I played Burns in this, thirty years ago. We had a very enjoyable time there.

Dear God, this is an old production. Amazing seeing how much Ayr has changed!
I played Burns and have changed quite a bit too.
Appreciation for this clip, from Canada.

+Lochlainn Mac Neill Aye, auld Cuthbertson was a braw actor. What a voice! I was lucky enough to play Burns in this.
+Lochlainn Mac Neill Im making haggis to squash the feelings of absence from the homeland ...
+Chef Andy Campbell Only the best cuts o' meat mind!
Very nicely done. Thank you for a balanced overview.
Can’t believe there hasn’t been a cinematic film of Burns’ life.

Oh flower of scotland, when will we see
The end of this crap for you and me?
Or forever shall we be, paying homage to burns the randy bxxtxxd?
But Pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, it’s bloom is dead;
Or, like the snow fall on the river,
A moment white, then melts for ever
Happy Burns-Day from Mannheim, Germany.
& from Santa Fe New Mexico US!
and from Oakland, California!
Then catch the moments as they fly,
And use them as ye ought, man!
Believe me, Happiness is shy,
And comes not ay when sought, man!
the way the man starts talking is a freaking 1000000000000000000000000000000000000/10

A man, what a man, for a’ that.
A “this is it” is independent of national problems but is a slogan that must be shouted!
