The world famous poet Robert Burns was born on the 25th of January 1759 in Alloway, Ayrshire. His poetic works are recognised world-wide and he is familiar to Freemasons as the Poet Laureate of Canongate Lodge Kilwinning, No.2.

In 1781 he joined the Lodge of St. David, No.133, Tarbolton, the first of six lodges he was to join. By 1784 he was Depute Master of St. James Lodge No.178, again in Kilwinning. Two years after the publication of his Kilmarnock Edition he was Master of a lodge in Mauchline.

Burns work strikes a particular chord with members of the craft with it's underlying message of equality and brotherhood a fundamental part of Masonic ideals.
