Burns, Haggis and Highland Dancers — A Postcard From Scotland
Burns portrait by Alexander Nasmyth (Scottish National Portrait Gallery)
We’re in Scotland for the Geo Quiz, in the city where Robert Burns started to make a name for himself in the late 1780″²s, and where his portrait now hangs in the Scottish National Gallery.
The answer is Edinburgh. Scottish musician Sandy Brechin sent us an audio postcard.
