Scotland’s most famous man is Robert Burns. But there was a somewhat murky side to our famed poet. It’s well documented that he had 13 children (by 5 women it is guessed!), but he wrote poems that were actually deemed too risque for publication. His collection The Merry Muses of Caledonia was actually banned from publication in the UK until 1965. America was a bit more liberal, they lifted the ban a year earlier in 1964.
Scotland rules!
