A full Car, na twa full car load of folk trundled up ta Glasgow, stoppin off for coffee on route.  the it was time to collect the facimilies of the pane of glass, inscribed by Rabbie himself, which were removed from the Globe Inn around 1834 and were sold at auction.  Matt Sempie has done an amazing job, we just need to agree how we are going to display them.

Anyway to oor tale twa full car loads of folk trundled up ta Glasgow stoppin off for coffee on route to the Mitchell Library and a visit to the Burns Room - it is I assure you well worth the visit the room itself is not what I had expected - you know the 16ft x 20ft with bookshelves round about - no quite the opposite, but take note if you do intend to go you will need to arrange in advance as a guide is needed as I suspect is a big ball of string to help you find your way back out.  The Burns room is a magnificant hall in which the collection ov over 4500 burns editions are housed unfortunately neither of the 2 Kilmarnock editions nor the actual manuscripts which the Mitchell own were on view but we were allowed to browse the books and newspapers many of which are from the 1780's & 1790's 

Les Byres was able to recite the curators favorate - the letter to William Nicol and Peter Kormylo recited in Ukranian before gifting a copy of his recent publication Burn in Ukrainian.
