Robert Burns

Len is also widely regarded as one of the country’s finest speakers on Robert Burns and his Immortal Memory has been described as “legendary”. He has spoken at over 300 Burns Suppers throughout the world, from Edmonton and Calgary in the West to Singapore in the East and many places in between. He is a member of the Burns Federation and is Honorary President of Greenock Burns Club, the oldest Burns Club in the world.
