You can't talk about Scotland's history without talking about poet, icon and lover of dames and drink: Robert Burns. And if you're gonna talk about good ol' Rabbie, you should probably consult an expert. We're so lucky to have Dr. Moira Hansen from the Centre for Robert Burns Studies at the University of Glasgow to share some lesser known tales of The National Bard, his family, his collaborators, and the myths we've spun about him.

Frances Dunlop Burns’ tours mapped out

The Poet & His Muse - depiction of Burns and Coila by Albert Hemstock Hodge (loc. in Stirling)
More on Dr. Moira Hansen Dr Moira Hansen is a post-doctoral researcher based in the Centre for Robert Burns Studies at the University of Glasgow. She completed her PhD in 2020 and now works on a range of projects exploring aspects of Scottish literary culture in the eighteenth century, as well as undergraduate teaching. This is possibly an upgrade on her previous life as a high school English teacher as she now doesn't have to do parents' evenings!
