ABSTRACT Attention is drawn in this brief note to how Paul Bishop’s interests as an earth scientist and physical geographer inspired the author in interpreting the poetry of Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns. James Hutton’s geological theories regarding the age of the earth, the historical instability of the earth’s surface and the erosive powers of the elements likely influenced Burns, suggesting new inflections to the interpretation of at least two of his well-known poems. Paul Bishop’s assistance with respect to interpreting a Burns copyist’s poem is also explained.
