Burnscripts is a collection of dramatic scripts by John Cairney interpreting the life and works of Robert Burns. Cairney, connected professionally to Burns as an actor, author and writer for nearly half a century, is ideally-suited to present this collection of theatre plays, children's drama and a full-length musical. This personal exploration of Burns' life and work in performance helps to build a fuller picture of the poet whilst being a celebration of one of Scotland's most important cultural icons.

In his acting career, John Cairney has been described as a living embodiment of Robert Burns, and is perhaps best known for writing and starring in the 1968 Scottish Television adaptation 'Burns', which was broadcasted as a six week serial. Since then, Cairney has written and performed Burns in all media and at festivals around the world. Cairney's books to date include 'The Man who Played Robert Burns', 'On the Trail of Robert Burns' and 'The Luath Burns Companion'. He now lives on the south side of Glasgow with his wife, actress and scriptwriter, Alannah O'Sullivan.
