This is a difficult one to rate. I know some Scots, but not nearly enough to truly appreciate it when Burns uses it, at least without using the glossary in the back. I preferred his poems about Scottish independence, the wars, and the generally snarky ones. I tried to find as many of the songs as I could online so I could get a better feel for them, and I definitely recommend reading these out loud or finding narrations of them. Sometimes when you read them aloud, you can understand the Scots better because the spellings don't throw you off.

Really enjoyed this collection. Robert Burns is witty, ribald, and musical, and I learned a lot from his poems.

Not my style of poetry, I found it difficult to follow and enjoy.
