This was the second time I had attended the Robert Burns Lectures at Glasgow University - they had pieced together a superb variety of interesting and diverse speakers related to the Bard.   artifacts and memorobilia, Mauchlineware, Burns amd Medicine, Burns and the common people, The translation of burns to Russian by Marshak, also a session on Burns and the Web (WWW).

A varied and educational day worth a visit but the weather almost spoiled the day as we wondered if we would be able to ge there.
