We will be seeking information about Robert Burns from around the world using the Internet and on this page we will display what we find. If anyone nationally or internationally has any news about Robert Burns or Robert Burns clubs Worldwide that they would like to feature here please contact us.

As the bard once said in a few lines to Captain Riddell (upon returning a newspaper he had borrowed) ...

"My goose-quill too rude is
To tell all your goodness
Bestow'd on your servant, the Poet;
Would to God I had one
Like a beam of the sun,
And then all the world, sir, should know it!"

Perhaps he was foreseeing the Internet?

Rather than offer links to individual news items we now feature the news feeds from the best websites. If you find any other good feeds please let us know about them.

These links open in new windows.

Check BBC Website News Feed: As always this is an excellent resource from the BBC and well worth a visit.

Check Edinburgh Evening News Feed: This is a link to a page on the Edinburgh Evening News with links to all articles that they print about Burns. There's lots of up to date information in here.
