Dear Spurtle,
I saw this van parked by the Water of Leith last week.
It's nice to see the National Bard immortalised by a business venture, and one hopes it is more successful than his own attempts to make money.
Some might argue that this goes against the animal-loving spirit of the original poem, but, to be fair, Burns might have felt differently about mice if they were running around his kitchen.
