Burns had a total of twelve children by four women, including nine by his wife Jean Armour. 

Seven of his children were illegitimate.

Burns wrote a poem for 'Andrew'.

Epistle to a Young Friend. May, 1786

Ye'll try the world soon my lad, 

And Andrew dear believe me, 

Ye’ll find mankind an unco squad, 

And muckle they may grieve ye.

Burns wrote: Address to a Haggis

Was haggis a metaphor for penis?

Burns wrote Auld Lang Syne.

Burns wrote: Whistle, And I'll Come To You, My Lad

There is said to be an underlying homosexual subtext in "Oh, Whistle."

O whistle, an' I'll come to ye, my lad,
Tho' father an' mother an' a' should gae mad,
O whistle, an' I'll come to ye, my lad.

But warily tent when ye come to court me,
And come nae unless the back-yett be a-jee;
Syne up the back-stile, and let naebody see,
And come as ye were na comin' to me,
And come as ye were na comin' to me.

O whistle an' I'll come, &c.


Statue of Burns in Dumfries, the Queen of the South.

At kirk, or at market, whene'er ye meet me,
Gang by me as tho' that ye car'd na a flie;
But steal me a blink o' your bonie black e'e,
Yet look as ye were na lookin' to me,
Yet look as ye were na lookin' to me. 

O whistle an' I'll come, &c.

Aye vow and protest that ye care na for me,
And whiles ye may lightly my beauty a-wee;
But court na anither, tho' jokin' ye be,
For fear that she wile your fancy frae me,
For fear that she wile your fancy frae me. 

O whistle an' I'll come, &c.

Burns was a Freemason.
