His works often explore themes of love, nature, and social injustice. Burns' impact on Scottish literature is immense, as he is considered the national poet of Scotland. His most famous work, "Auld Lang Syne," is a beloved New Year's Eve anthem sung around the world. Burns' legacy continues to inspire poets and writers to this day.
