Many of his works were written in Scots, a dialect of English spoken in Scotland, while others were written in English. Ordination was written in Scots. TOP Marks Full. Congrats to the family of the late great poet

He was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated for his work in both the Scots and English. Auld Lang Syne is also his work. Very lovely!

it's also poetic genre to play with words meaninglessly; sometimes some poets play with words and words not for any good reason but for aimlessly play; just a game of coreless aspects; reading this poem it seems to this poem such type coreless........! ! !

Difficult to comprend but 8 get the drift. And if any believes a n igger is the result of an ancestor having laughed at a naked dad you need to have your head gasket checked nay you need a brain transplant. The scriptures were written by conceited dim wits who only saw things through their local knowledge and experiences. Those are political chronicles designed to further a narrative. If you want the truth go to science carbon dating.
