Burns worked for the final ten years of his life on projects to preserve traditional Scottish songs for the future. In all, Burns had a hand in preserving over 300 songs for posterity, the most famous being "Auld Lang Syne".
Burns referred to it (Red Red Rose) as a "simple old Scots song which I had picked up in the country."
