The Scottish Government has launched a free iPhone app which contains the entire works of the Bard – over 550 poems and songs! Culture Minister Fiona Hyslop called the new app “a great platform” to promote Burns. She said: “Robert Burns is Scotland’s greatest cultural icon, recognized and celebrated all around the world. His legacy is of incalculable value to Scotland and the country’s image abroad.” If you have an iPhone, free downloads are available – just in time to be a silent prompt for that Burns Night speech, and that awful moment when your mind goes blank over a poem you’d remembered your whole life!
