Jean Armour, an Ayrshire lass with the voice of a nightingale, is charmed by young farmer, Robert Burns, from their very first meeting in Mauchline. But Rab's reputation has gone before him, and Jean's father, James Armour, is determined to shield her from the advances of the mercurial ploughman poet whose reputation has gone before him.
Jean, however, has other ideas and Rab's 'jewel of them all' is destined to be the love of his life.
Their marriage will endure against all the odds, its rocky course revealing Jean's indomitable strength of character, a strength that will largely be ignored by later commentators, who refuse to acknowledge the poet's genuine love for the woman he called his 'sweet muse'.
The Jewel brings to glorious life the dramatic years of Jean Armour and Robert Burns's courtship and their tempestuous married life. How Jean lived with - and sometimes without - her celebrated husband is surely Scotland's greatest love story.
