    In this episode Robert has moved from Edinburgh To Ellisland Farm, which is by the banks of the river Nith, about 6 and a half miles north of Dumfries. He has become a farmer again, as well as an Excise Officer.

    How does he do this? it is two FULL TIME occupations. As well as working he is socialising, writing poetry and contributing songs to 'The Scots Musical Museum'. How much energy can one man have?!!!

    Find out which songs and poems he wrote here, what trouble he got himself into and where he goes next....

    P.S. I made one HUGE omission from this episode. I should have mentioned that he worked on the song 'Auld Lang Syne' here...
