The Painting of Robert Burns and his Mary - Charles Lucy, 1844
There’s a free iPhone app that offers the complete works of the Bard in a searchable database – over 550 poems and love songs – a handy guide to how to host an authentic haggis (barf) Burns Supper, biographical information about the 18th century poet/lady’s man and a useful glossary of terms to help interpret the Scots words. To get the free app, visit the scotland.org website, or download it directly from the iTunes store.

About kara

We know our letters just fine, and we know our numbers to a certain point, but books were always the realm of four-eyed poindexters with bowler hats and cravats. That’s why it pleases us so that America’s proud illiterates are finally stepping up and pushing back against the crushing tide of education that threatens to swallow us all into its gaping maw of checked facts. Champions of the Ignorantiat will not like it here.
