The Burnsian Palimpsest: Robert Burns in American Cultural Memory, c. 1840- 1866 The memory of Burns…The west winds are murmuring it… Ralph Waldo Emerson (Ballantine 1959: 37) ~ Cultural memory reaches back into the past only so far as the past can be reclaimed as ‘ours’… Jan Assmann (Assmann 2008: 111) Introduction Arguably more so than any other eighteenth-century literary figure, the political and popular legacy of Robert Burns has been continually contested, revised and appropriated to various ends. As recently as the 2015 UK General Election, the Scottish branch of the right-wing populist United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) attempted to win the hearts (if not the minds) of Scottish voters by producing posters emblazoned with lines from Burns’s ‘The Dumfries Volunteers’;1 while, previously, the opposing Scottish Nationalist Party strategically launched an electoral campaign on the poet’s birthday (Tempest 2005). Contests were also waged over Burns’s presumed political leanings during the 2014 Scottish Referendum, as he was variably cast as a Unionist or Nationalist across several media outlets (Maddox 2012).

  • The Silver Tassie

    The Silver Tassie

    The Silver Tassie MY BONIE MARY An old Jacobite ballad rewritten by the Bard. A silver tassie is a silver goblet and the Ferry which is mentioned in the poem is Queensferry, now the site of the two bridges which span the Forth, a short distance from Edinburgh. Go fetch to me a pint 0' wine, And fill it in a silver tassie; That I may drink before I go, A service to my bonie lassie: The boat rocks at the Pier 0' Leith, Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry, The ship rides by the Berwick-Law, And I maun leave my bonie Mary. maun = must The trumpets sound, the banners fly The glittering spears are ranked ready, The shouts 0' war are heard afar, The battle closes deep and bloody. It's not the roar 0' sea or shore, Wad mak me longer wish to tarry; Nor shouts 0' war that's heard afar- It's leaving thee, my bonie Mary! Afion Water This is a particularly lovely piece which is always a great favourite when sung at any Bums gathering. It refers to the River Afion, a small river, whose beauty obviously greatly enchanted the Bard. Flow gently, sweet Afcon, among thy green braes! braes = banks Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise! My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream - Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream! Thou stock-dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen, stuck dm =a wood pipn Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den, yon = yonder Thou green-crested lapwing, thy screaming forbear, I charge you, disturb not my slumbering Fair!

  • RBWF Burns Chronicle Index

    RBWF Burns Chronicle Index

    A Directory To the Articles and Features Published in “The Burns Chronicle” 1892 – 2005 Compiled by Bill Dawson A “Merry Dint” Publication 2006 The Burns Chronicle commenced publication in 1892 to fulfill the ambitions of the recently formed Burns Federation for a vehicle for “narrating the Burnsiana events of the year” and to carry important articles on Burns Clubs and the developing Federation, along with contributions from “Burnessian scholars of prominence and recognized ability.” The lasting value of the research featured in the annual publication indicated the need for an index to these, indeed the 1908 edition carried the first listings, and in 1921, Mr. Albert Douglas of Washington, USA, produced an index to volumes 1 to 30 in “the hope that it will be found useful as a key to the treasures of the Chronicle” In 1935 the Federation produced an index to 1892 – 1925 [First Series: 34 Volumes] followed by one for the Second Series 1926 – 1945. I understand that from time to time the continuation of this index has been attempted but nothing has yet made it to general publication. I have long been an avid Chronicle collector, completing my first full set many years ago and using these volumes as my first resort when researching any specific topic or interest in Burns or Burnsiana. I used the early indexes and often felt the need for a continuation of these, or indeed for a complete index in a single volume, thereby starting my labour. I developed this idea into a guide categorized by topic to aid research into particular fields.

PREFACE. Of the numerous biographers of the poet Burns, few have dilated on his lineage. Some doubtless felt that his position might not be elevated by any pedigree, however famous. Others may have been content to hold that himself being in lowly circumstances, any inquiry as to his progenitors would be useless and unprofitable. By his biographer Dr Currie he is described as " in reality a peasant." What in respect of descent Burns really was these Memoirs will show. Bemotely sprung from a landed stock, his im- mediate ancestors were yeomen, at first opvdent, latterly the reverse. The family had produced another poet, the author of "Thrummy Cap;" but decided indications of intellectual activity did not appear in the house till subsequent to the marriage of the poet's paternal grandfather. The wife of this person was of the family of Keith of Craig, a branch of the house of Keith-Marischal.

Date of Interview: 11th August 2017. Interviewer: Bobby Grierson. Recording Agreement: Yes Information & Content: Yes Photographic Images: Yes (Number of: 1) Location of Interview: Skype. Cumnock, Ayrshire. Full Transcript Introduction, welcome and information about respondent. Q1. What is your connection to Pennylands Camp? A1. I was born at Grimgrew one of the cottages on the Dumfries House Estate and I was aware of Pennylands from about the age of six and going round with my father who was the Shepherd on Dumfries House Estate and the camp had just been completed but was not occupied to that extent. It wasn’t a prisoner of war camp. The biggest problem they had was that the sewage treatment plant didn’t work because whoever had constructed it had only sealed the connections on top of the pipes with cement. The plant discharged into the river Lugar up river from the Lady’s Bridge. Q2 Can you tell me a little about your family, your parents and any siblings? A3. I was the only one. My mother Violet Cameron was also born and brought up on the estate and she was one of eight. Her father James Cameron was the estate joiner for 50 years as was his father before him. He lived at the Longrig, which is shown on one of the photos you have. There were two houses together at the bottom of the Longrig, one that faced onto the Longrig where John Murray lived and he had eight of a family.

The popular Burn Anne Walk is a pleasant 5 mile circuit adjacent to the property.

Class VZQlo ' i" /// s Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2007 with funding from Microsoft Corporation http://www.archive.org/details/balladssongsofayOOpaterich THE BALLADS AND SONGS OF AYRSHIRE, ILLUSTRATED WITH SKETCHES, HISTORICAL, TRADITIONAL, NARRATIVE AND BIOGRAPHICAL. Old King Coul was a merry old soul, And a jolly old soul was he ; Old King Coul he had a brown bowl, And they brought him in fiddlers three. EDINBURGH: THOMAS G. STEVENSON, HISTORICAL AND ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLER, 87 PRINCES STREET. MDCCCXLVII. — ; — CFTMS IVCRSI1 c INTRODUCTION. Renfrewshire has her Harp—why not Ayrshire her Lyre ? The land that gave birth to Burns may well claim the distinction of a separate Re- pository for the Ballads and Songs which belong to it. In this, the First Series, it has been the chief object of the Editor to gather together the older lyrical productions connected with the county, intermixed with a slight sprinkling of the more recent, by way of lightsome variation. The aim of the work is to collect those pieces, ancient and modern, which, scattered throughout various publications, are inaccessible to many readers ; and to glean from, oral recitation the floating relics of a former age that still exist in living remembrance, as well as to supply such in- formation respecting the subject or author as maybe deemed interesting. The songs of Burns—save, perhaps, a few of the more rare—having been already collected in numerous editions, and consequently well known, will form no part of the Repository. In distinguishing the Ballads and Songs of Ayrshire, the Editor has been, and will be, guided by the connec- tion they have with the district, either as to the author or subject ; and now that the First Series is before the public, he trusts that, whatever may be its defects, the credit at least will be given Jiim of aiming, how- ever feebly, at the construction of a lasting monument of the lyrical literature of Ayrshire.
