Description: | The Brig o' Doon is famous throughout the world by its association with Robert Burns. It crosses the River Doon near his birthplace in Alloway and featured in his epic poem 'Tam o' Shanter'.
This is one of a portfolio of twelve drypoints entitled Burns Country. It was published in May 1915 and was accompanied by text written by Houston's friend Neil Munro of Para Handy fame. Burns Country follows the poet's passage from Mount Oliphant to his end in Dumfries.
