John English, 118 De Lautour Road, with a treasured picture of the famous Scottish poet, Robbie Burns. All down the years it has been said that Burns was not a Mason (member of the Masonic Lodge), but this picture, which is more than 200 years old, should prove this wrong. Mr English has had the picture for more than 40 years. Before that it was in the Duncan family for 160 years, being brought out from Scotland.
