Abstract
Artistically one of the least parochial of poets, Burns nevertheless composed the verse in the Kilmarnock Edition without ever straying from his native Ayrshire. His early work is richly topographical as well as autobiographical, his later poems and songs often have geographical associations. The Topography indicates places that meant most to Bums as man and poet.
