Red Rose the film about Robert Burns finds some photos

This picture is of the actor Michael Rodgers playing the role of the Scottish poet Robert Burns. It was created by the still photographer Chaz Boulton as a modern day teaser copy of the famous Burns original picture by the painter Naismith.

This picture was shot in the very place Robert Burns frequented, the local pub of Mauchline, called Posie Nancies. Here Michael Rodgers, in the historical room of the pub, which remains the same as it did in the 1790's.

This photo was chosen for the A4 poster because it seemed to sum up the film. Here Lucy Russell plays Jean Armour, the wife of Robert Burns. In the coming weeks, with the discovery of these lost pictures I will be revisiting them to explain how the film crew embarked on recreating the 1790's on 35mm.
