The images in the Robert Burns section are so very nice. I can't wait to get home and go into this more thoroughly - my Scottish mother will be thanking you, plep!

didnt know we were allowed in the library, theyve always had security guards standing outside it and its beside the signet library so i've always assumed its for the toffs.
maybe i'll buck up the courage to go in sometime.
