This tumultuous period in history shaped Scotch whisky, and like the poetry of Burns, was carried with the diaspora across the world to become a global commodity which radiates the heritage of Scotland with each dram.Booking for Highlight Talks at Robert Burns Birthplace Museum is recommended to guarantee entry.
