Robert Burns (1759-1796) was one of the world's greatest men, not just for his works as a songwriter and poet but for his whole philosophy of life. For him, life was simple, all men are born equal and they die equal. The part between birth and death should be the same. There should be no boundaries stopping man from his travels, no national flags or emblems to distinguish one from another. All men, no matter the colour, are God's creatures and no religion divide should exist only the peace and harmony of brothers. No matter what, where, when or who 'A man's a man for a' that' The mausoleum contains the great man, his wife and his children including his oldest son Robert who died at the age of 70.
