Robert Burns, the greatest Scottish poet, was born in 1759, on 25 January in Alloway, Scotland. That day Scottish people celebrate Burn’s night. They wear kilts and play bagpipes. Robert Burns wrote wonderful poems and songs. His most famous poem is “ My Heart’s in the Highlands”.

Highlands and Islands

To the north of Edinburgh and Glasgow are the Highlands of Scotland:

mountains with few trees, wild deer and many sheep. It’s one of the most

picturesque places in the world.

The Highlanders, the people of the area – are very devoted to their country

with its striking beauty, though it is not so prosperous as other places in

Britain. Most of these people are farmers and fishermen. Scotland does a lot

of fish trading. On the small islands to the north and west of Scotland there

are fishing and farming villages. The houses in the villages look modest but

they have to be strong enough to keep people warm in winter when cold

winds blow from the sea. Some of the people still speak Gaelic, the ancient

Celtic language of Scotland.
