Robert Burns declared this ‘one of the finest songs I ever made in my life; and, besides, is composed on a young lady, positively the most beautiful, lovely woman in the world’. Wonderful from UofG Chapel Choir. #BurnsNight UK Government Scotland

‘Ae Fond Kiss’ is one of Burns’ most famous love songs, arising from his relationship with Agnes McLehose. The pair exchanged passionate letters as ‘Clarinda’ and ‘Sylvander’. The emotive song is a powerful farewell to McLehose who was moving to the West Indies. #ValentinesDay
