About Robert Burns
He wrote many poems in the Scots language and in a light Scots dialect of English that many readers outside Scotland could understand. Burns also composed verses in standard English, where his political and civil commentary was often straightforward.
![“[Scottish songs] are, I own, frequently wild, & unreduceable to the more modern rules; but on that very eccentricity, perhaps, depends a great part of their effect.” quote by Robert Burns](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/cfe/robert-burns-1511_depends_scottish-songs-are-i-own-frequently-wild_450371.png)
