A rare first edition of a book of poems – saved from destruction in a late 19th century barber’s shop – has gone on show for the first time since before lockdown.
Robert Burns enthusiast John Murison rescued the book after spotting it in a dilapidated state at a shop in Shrewsbury, where the proprietor was tearing out pages to clean razors. He stepped in to buy the copy of Poems Chiefly In The Scottish Dialect.
