Apparently if you tune in to Radio 2 at 0640 tomorrow you can listen to Jane Moulder, who edits “Chanter” - the Bagpipe Society magazine, talking about this year’s Blowout (annual festival/get together of English & European bagpipes, over in Leicestershire).

(I must try to get to it some year, and for more than the three hours I managed once before!)

He died in 1830, aged 70, after a long illness, and was buried in Irvine’s Old Parish Church cemetery. His eroded gravestone was replaced by a facsimile thanks to the Irvine Burns Club.

Willie’s Mill, in the scene of “Death and Doctor Hornbook,” is Tarbolton Mill, on the Water of Fail, about a quarter of a mile from the north end of Tarbolton, on the road to Lochlee and Mossgiel.
If you close your eyes , you can hear the mill grinding away.
