He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language although much of his writing is in English and a light Scots dialect accessible to an audience beyond Scotland.</p> <p>Burns is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement and after his death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism.
