ROBERT BURNS, Scotland’s greatest poet, was born 207 years ago on January 25 in this thatched, onestorey cottage in the picturesque village of Alloway, Ayrshire. In the kitchen of the cottage are assembled some of the family relics. In the foreground is the family Bible. The two books next to it are (front) the first edition of Burns’s poems, printed in Kilmarnock in 1786; and a volume of Burns’s annotated copy of “The Scots Musical Museum,” with the full version of “Auld Lang Syne” in his own handwriting.
