Robert Burns’ Cottage, Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland
Robbie Burns Day – Sat, 25 Jan 2025
All saucy sitting around the table
We spread the tales of oor Rabbie
John Barleycorn gone to our head
& cranachan sweet sent us to bed
We heard of his lust for maidens
His forays across the Highlands
Wee kiddies & lassies left behind
He always said love is blind
The minister at kirk did not agree
“I’ll not bless what I canna see”
John Barleycorn gone to our head
& cranachan sweet sent us to bed

Delightful ! Sounds like a fascinating foray north of the border !
