Join James Robertson, a renowned Scottish poet, Professor Rhona Brown, a distinguished academic, and the talented musician Tommy Reckless at the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh to commemorate the life and literary contributions of the esteemed poet, Robert Fergusson. This special tribute event will feature captivating poetry recitations by James Robertson, who will engage in an enlightening conversation with Professor Rhona Brown, an expert leading a prestigious University of Glasgow project dedicated to exploring Fergusson's remarkable body of work and enduring legacy. Adding to the ambiance of the evening, the gifted musician Tommy Mackay, also known as Tommy Reckless, will perform two brand-new compositions that pay homage to Fergusson, a writer whom the legendary Robert Burns considered his "elder brother in the Muse." Fergusson's untimely demise at the age of 24, 250 years ago, left an indelible mark on the literary world. His profound poetry in Scots captivated the hearts of revered figures such as Robert Burns and Robert Louis Stevenson, who contributed to the restoration of Fergusson's grave and headstone. As visitors stroll through the Canongate Churchyard gates on Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile, they are often captivated by a beloved and frequently photographed statue by sculptor David Annand, which stands as a poignant tribute to Fergusson's enduring legacy. Join us at the Scottish Poetry Library to immerse yourself in the simmering essence of Robert Fergusson's life and literary prowess.

Calton Hill

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
