Burns on the BBC
| 10:00 UK time, Tuesday, 13 January 2009
With 25th January 2009 being the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, BBC Scotland is recording all of his poetic works, performed by some of Scotland's best-loved actors.
You can listen to the works published so far, read by Brian Cox, Hannah Gordon and John Gordon Sinclair. Related radio and tv programmes are being shown this month which you can catch on the iPlayer, currently including the second part of Andrew O'Hagan's The World According to Robert Burns, John Cavanagh exploring A Man's a Man For A' That on Songlines and Eddi Reader joining Robbie Shepherd on Reel Blend.
On the BBC's Robert Burns website you can find out more about the man and how to hold your own Burns Supper. As well as links on the website, have a look at Learning and Teaching Scotland's Burns resources, a blog of Robert Burns' letters, posted on the days they were written, and follow the National Trust's ayrshirebard on Twitter to receive lines from Burns' poetry sent on a daily basis.
