Beyond Burns
Beyond Burns
Robert Burns is beloved in Scotland and the world over, with good reason. But here, Scots Makar Jackie Kay looks to some of the other extraordinary, and often overlooked, poets that Scotland has produced, including Robert Fergusson, Margaret Tait, Liz Lochhead and Norman MacCaig. She also meets writers including Val McDermid, James Robertson and Hannah Lavery to learn more about the overlooked poets and hear some of their stunning works
Beyond Burns airs on BBC Four at 1:00 AM, Sunday 26 January. (Subtitles.)
