🔥 More Than Words – Stage 17: Burns, Baby, Burns 🔥
From saints who sound like cough syrup to Robert Burns nearly becoming Jamaica’s HR nightmare, because Ayrshire’s tourism strategy is apparently “poets, feuds, golf courses, and the occasional Russian warship rusting offshore.
Featuring:
😷 St Quivox: the parish that sounds like medicine you’d take for chest congestion
📜 Robert Burns: rebel poet, excise officer, and part‑time population boom in Ayrshire
🔪 Nether Auchendrane murders: the Sopranos, but with more kilts and fewer cannoli
🏰 Maybole Castle: aristocrats gossiping like Real Housewives of Ayrshire
🍷 Kirkoswald smugglers: brandy, tobacco, and Burns’ drinking buddies immortalised in verse
🏌️ Turnberry: Janey Godley’s own country
📉 Downhill: the hamlet that named itself after your mood on a Monday
🧙 Girvan witches: puffins, whisky, folk festivals… and a brief detour into witch trials
⚓ Lendalfoot: heiresses shoved off cliffs, and a Russian cruiser that gave up
It’s travel with murderous Kennedys, Burns‑mania, aristocratic scandals, puffins, and a Russian warship that ended its career by sulking in an Ayrshire bay. Equal parts poetic, surreal, and suspiciously damp.
