<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 2987785, member: 40017&quot;]Well Bruce is a good Scottish name - Robert the Bruce and all that. I read excellent historical novels about him when I was young by a chap called Nigel Tranter - very good if you can ever find them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Burns poetry is difficult to follow written down, but makes much more sense read by someone with a good Scottish accent. My favourite line is describing the wife waiting at home to greet her husband back from the pub &quot;Nursing her wrath to keep it warm&quot;. I had a wife like that once!</p><p>This on Burns even includes a picture of the cottage from the same viewpoint: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Burns" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Burns" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Burns</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
