"This is a remarkable work whose execution occupied much of the creator's time and energy over a period of three years, but which was obviously in gestation over a much longer time. The attention to detail is matched by the brilliant mastery of composition"……"This is truly a labour of love conceived, nurtured and brought to life through sheer hard work, persistence and dedication to an ideal, with Burns himself as example and inspiration. The result is a major achievement which will, I am sure, uplift and inspire generations of Burns devotees in all the years to come"
