"Nursing her wrath to keep it warm", who doesn't know someone like that, male or female? Cracking performance.

Well done Bruce, that was fantastic! I really enjoyed the presentation and production. It's a great way to introduce the poetry of Burns and the Scots language, especially to kids. Great work.

There are translations in English that can help you understand Burns poetry.

Good morning! Since I was a little girl, I've always liked popular tales, legends and much more the history of a people or a nation.I have never been to Scotland, but to England. Going to Scotland is a dream that remains to come true. I was also born in the highlands, but in Portugal.In the villages, in the woods and mountains, this is where stories and popular tales are created. Keep up with your channel and it's very instructive. Have a nice weekend.

Brilliant performance of the tale and with relevant scenic places.

Thanks Bruce , Shanter had too much to drink , That’s the moral of the story you’d think . Whilst he thought he was riding his mare In actual fact … it was the pub flair . Twists and turns resulted in terrible burns And left his legs with no hair . All the crap around the grave Was just some youngsters having a rave He tried to get over the watter , To get away from Burns’s patter . At the end of the day Bruce , Words get better on the Juice . It really doesn’t matter

The best way to celebrate our nations Bard is to speak his words aloud and sing his songs with all your heart. Well done for celebrating his life and works with such swagger. He would love the bicycle! My eldest son shares his illustrious birth date and it's a big celebration in my family.
