BOOKS ON ROBERT BURNS

Due to the popular feature on Robert Burns which the Digital Library uploaded prior to the Burns season, it has been decided to retain it as a permanent section in the Library.

As some of Burns language is not as well known, A Dictionary of Lowland Scotch by Charles McKay LL.D, published in 1888 has been included in this section.
