My heart’s in the Highlands
Bruce’s paternal side of the family hails from Luss, Scotland – and his dad was given the name Robert Burns McFarlan – after the cultural icon and poet.
“Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birthplace of valour, the country of worth!
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.“
Robert Burns
My Heart’s in the Highlands, 1789
