Billy Kay has sent me this wonderful, star-spangled photograph which was taken when he was in America at the end of last month. He was one of the speakers at a symposium staged at the in Washington D.C. Billy was talking about the linguistic legacy of Robert Burns and the strong links with the U.S. that remain.

Extracts from Billy's ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Scotland programmes were played and, he tells me, the audience responded enthusiastically and emotionally.

All of which gives me yet another excuse to remind you that our Burns audio archive continues to grow and you can find it by clicking here.

Recent additions include First Minister Alex Salmond reciting A Man's a Man for A' That.
