BURNS LIGHT

The Burns Light installation lights up the Burns Mausoleum with a dynamic display of colour and sound, retelling the story of Robert Burns.

Burns Light, a brand-new historical retelling of Robert Burns and the Burns Mausoleum, which is the resting place of Scotland’s most important son. A new music score created with emerging music creators in the town will bring the mausoleum to life through a six-minute audiovisual projection which will be beamed onto the white monument over the five days.

The project will examine the famous visitors to the Mausoleum over the last 208 years as well as famous people who have been influenced by Robert Burns, including musicians like Bob Dylan and The Beatles.
