New Cumnock poet Rab Wilson has been using his his role as Burns Fellowship Writer to create a unexpected contemporary Bard. He has been working with Facial Anthropologists at Dundee University to create make a reconstruction of Burns' face.

The model is nearly complete and Rab is delighted with the result:
"We are going to see the man as he would have looked walking down the streets of Mauchline in 1785. I think if folk then could see this they would say: 'That is Burns, the real Robert Burns.'"
Rab seems to have lost half of his face. Wouldn't he be better rebuilding that?
