Probably the most significant book ever published in Scotland, by probably the world’s favourite poet, Robert Burns’ first published work is republished in a special Subscriber Edition with newly commissioned illustrations by Bob Dewar to celebrate the 250th anniversary of his birth.

Would you like to own a limited edition copy of Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect?

Like Burns’ original version, only 612 copies of the Subscriber Edition are available to buy, exclusively from Luath Press. Each copy is individually signed and numbered by John Cairney, ‘the man who played Burns’, who also wrote a fascinating introduction to the book. This edition also includes an afterword by renowned Burns speaker and President of the Burns Club of London, Clark McGinn and specially commissioned illustrations from top artist Bob Dewar. With gold lettering on a brown hardback cover, presented in a slipcase, this is a truly unmissable addition to any Burns lover’s collection.

Copies of the Subscriber Edition are only available from Luath Press while stocks last. Place your order now to ensure your copy is reserved. Orders will be processed on a first come first served basis and despatched by our distributor (HarperCollins) from the end of March onwards.

Luath Press is also republishing The Merry Muses of Caledonia, bawdy and explicit poetry by Robert Burns. A Bookshop Edition of The Luath Kilmarnock Edition is also available.
