This paper aims to study the Scottish poet Robert Burns, who is a noticeable influence for the Lake poets, especially for Coleridge and Wordsworth. After a brief reference to the biography and works written by Burns, we analyse the nationalistic movement in the United Kingdom during the second part of the 18th century. Finally, we translate into Spanish three poems “Lament of Mary Queen of the Scots On the Approach of Spring” by Burns, “To the Exiled Patriots” by Coleridge y “When I have borne in memory” by Wordsworth, which show the existing influence between these authors.
