Happy Birthday Rabbie Burns! In 1786, he penned an impassioned poem to Scottish representatives of the House of Commons. Its final stanza:
Scotland, my auld, respected mither!
Tho’ whiles ye moistify your leather,
Till, whare ye sit on craps o’ heather,
Ye tine your dam;
Freedom an’ whisky gang thegither!
Take aff your dram!
Claire shared these words with Jamie who, as Alexander Malcolm, printed them in 1765. Roger traces him to Edinburgh! Way to go Roger and Rabbie!
