Great Regulars: Unfortunately for Robert Burns, however,

so thunderous is the post-detox clamour for haggis and whisky that his poetic legacy--which extends far beyond "Auld Lang Syne" and "A Red Red Rose"--tends to be drowned out. A Night Out with Robert Burns (Canongate), a selection of the poet's greatest works made by Scottish novelist and Burns aficionado Andrew O'Hagan, redresses the balance.
