The 175th Anniversary Window
This superb window, created by Ayrshire
stained glass artist Paul Lucky, tells the story of the time Robert Burns spent
in Irvine, where he made new friends and, more importantly, first had the idea
of publishing his work. The window contains facsimiles of original manuscripts
held by the Club, the blue flowers of the flax trade that brought him to the
town, and a map of Irvine at that time. It also highlights the esteem in which
he was still held 45 years later by people who had known him, that they resolved
to establish a Burns Club in his honour.
Fuller details will appear on this page in due course.
