Robert Burns was born on 25 January 1759 in the village of Alloway, two miles south of Ayr. Spending his early years working on the family farm, Burns increasingly turned his attentions towards the passions of poetry, nature, drink and women which would characterise the rest of his life. At just 27, Burns had already become famous across the country with poems such as To a Louse, To a Mouse and The Cotter's Saturday Night. He died on 21 July 1796 aged just 37 and was buried with full civil and military honours on the very day his son Maxwell was born.
