"Robert Burns was descended from the Burness family of Kincardineshire."

A great read is "Sikander Burnes!" by Craig Murray. Alexander Burnes from Montrose was the poet Burns cousin & a political officer with the East India Company, nepotism was rife in the EIC & Montrose guys were to the fore, including Alexanders brother James, a doctor on the staff.
