Some of Burns’ lesser known poems are included in ‘The Merry Muses of Caledonia’ a collection of bawdy verse. Many scholars and Robert Burns enthusiasts prefer not to mention his association with the Merry Muses of Caledonia because they don’t like him to be associated with this sort of material. Burns allegedly made no secret of his interest in erotic verse and bawdy song but apparently he kept this in a locked drawer at home. Well, you would, wouldn’t you? http://www.robertburns.org.uk/merrymuses.htm
