This Wee Book combines well kent and lesser known phrases, poems and songs to give folk who might not be familiar with his work just a wee flavour of the genius that was Robert Burns. It features snippets of his hilarious wit, his gut-wrenching angst and his heartaching passion and also contains a love letter to Jean Armour, Burns’s strong and very clever wife, a truly remarkable person in her own right, as well as mention of those who featured so prominently in his life such as his teacher, his father, his literary contemporaries and of course, his ladies.
Sitting just off the north coast of Scotland, between the Atlantic and the North Sea, Orkney is probably the only place where, in the space of a single day, you can walk along a golden beach with seabirds and seals, clamber over wartime ruins, descend into ancient tombs or wander around a house that is older than the Pyramids. With rugged cliffs, rolling waves, prehistoric sites and stunning wildlife, Orkney is a wonderful place to go for a walk. This guide of 40 walks from Pocket Mountains will help you make the most of it.
