    But Mousie, thou art no thy lane, In proving foresight may be vain: The best-laid schemes o mice an men Gang aft agley, An lea’e us nought but grief an pain, For promis’d joy! John Steinbeck? No - Robert Burns, November 1785.

    Wee, sleeket, cowran, tim’rous beastie on Poets Path. Photo taken by one of our volunteers Roger Alexander.

    Robert Burns was an avid nature lover, which his poem 'Tae a Moose' reflects perfectly, and our site provides a habitat for wildlife to flourish. 🌼🌳🌹🌼🌷🌲 Here are just some of the wee beasties we've managed to get a photo of on our grounds. 🏛🐁🦎
