Douglas researched and wrote the text. Over three hundred parish records were discovered in the research, bringing new light to the studies of Robert Burns and also correcting errors compounded over generations by biographer after biographer of Burns. Colin’s research and illustrations also brought to light faces of Burns’s friends which had been unknown in previous biographical works. The book was highly acclaimed by the world’s foremost scholars of Burns.
