Burns, Haggis and Highland Dancers — A Postcard From Scotland

The World

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.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
