Sounds like fun. I was trying to ignore the previous post. If you don't understand Burns, Scottish society in the latter part of the 1700's, and the age of enlightenment, well. Ahem. Of course the Bard was born 3 years or so after Mozart who was working a similar message of equality and brotherly love in the same vein at the same time. And it's odd that they both died at about the same age.

A study of the impact of the arts on society from 1720 to 1820 should be mandatory.

Robert the Bruce made no impact on the arts to my knowledge. Wrote no songs, no stories, no poetry.

I just bough a copy of the Scots musical Museum, to which Burns was a major contributor.
