Later he was taught Latin, French and mathematics by John Murdoch at his 'adventure school' in Alloway. After that Burns was once again homeschooled but later  attended Dalrymple Parish (public) School.

It was only after attending [[public School]] that Burns devloped a passion for bawdry obscene poetry, his first volume, ''Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish dialect'' being published in April 1786, also known as the Kilmarnock volume. It included his poem ''Address to the Deil''<ref>[http://www.worldburnsclub.com/poems/translations/address_to_the_deil.htm]</ref> (''Deil'' mean devil). The poem addresses the [[Satan|Devil]] mocking the pulpit oratory of the [[Presbyterian]] Church.
