Quartet in c, Op 61

Robert Burns needed to escape the pressures of his sudden literary and social success following the publication of his first book of poems. He left Edinburgh to make a tour of the Scottish Border country, trying to decide whether or not he should return to farming. In this programme for Burns Night, Hugh Douglas follows the same route and talks to many of the same sort of people that Burns would have met for the first time in that summer of 1787.
