During the Second World War he served in the Royal Air Force and the Fleet Air Arm, and is now an aircraft engineer by profession. A lifelong devotee of the Bard, he has played a prominent part in the activities of many Burns clubs in both Ayrshire and the Edinburgh area where he now resides. He became President of the Edinburgh Ayrshire Association in 1969-71 and President of the Edinburgh District Burns Club Association in 1973-5. He was Chairman of the Burns Federation Conference held in Edinburgh in 1974. His travels in the cause of Robert Burns have taken him far and wide; in 1975 he proposed 'The Lassies' at the first Moscow Burns Supper. For many years a member of the Executive of the Burns Federation, he recently succeeded George McKerrow as Convener of the Finance Committee, and was inducted as President of the Burns Federation at the Annapolis Conference. Apart from aeronautics and Burns, Tom's hobby is vintage motoring. 5 FROM THE EDITOR Last September I realised a long-felt ambition and visited the Yukon and Alaska. I can now boast of having been to every state of the Union, and all the Canadian provinces bar Newfoundland. My wife lags far behind me in this quest to cover North America, but it irked me that she had been to Alaska before me. To be sure, she did it the easy way, on a flight across the Pole from London to Auckland with a lay-over in Anchorage. I did it the hard way, by Greyhound bus north from Edmonton to Dawson Creek and then along the Alaska Highway to Whitehorse. Although it was only mid-September the temperature dropped to zero. One consolation was that the mosquitoes which, I am told, are as big as sparrows in these parts, had been vanquished by the frost. On the other hand, the last fourteen hours of the journey to Whitehorse were spent in a blizzard of horrendous scale, reducing visibility to nil and transforming the unsealed road into a quagmire. The snow stopped and the sun came out shortly after I reached the capital of the Yukon. Until about two years ago there was a railway that ran from Whitehorse across the 10,000- foot high White Pass and down into Skagway on the Alaskan coast, but the closure· of the last silver mine in that area meant that the line was no longer economic. The run by six­ teen-seater bus, however, was just as spectacular and the driver obligingly stopped to let us photograph the world's smallest desert (listed in the Guinness Book of Records) and a porcupine who eyed us disdainfully from a nearby tree. We had a coffee stop in Carcross, on the shores of a lake near the border with British Columbia. The village used to be called Caribou Crossing, because it was a favourite haunt of the great woodland reindeer; but the local minister discovered that his mail was frequently missent to other places of a similar name, so he prevailed on the authorities to change it. History records that his mail continued to go astray! The disused railway station at Carcross has now been converted into a museum dedicated to Robert Service, the Bard of the Yukon. Now I have been a fan of his, for as long as I have been a devotee of Burns, with the added interest that Service, though born in Preston, Lancashire, was raised in Glasgow and even attended the same school as myself. Not that the headmaster or his staff made anything of that. I have the feeling that Service was not quite 'refined' enough for them, and much more was made of another former pupil called Walter Owen who had become the Bard of the Pampas and translated vast reams of Argentinian poetry from Spanish into English. But two of Robert Service's grandchildren were among my contemporaries. Both were excellent swimmers and the elder attained some celebrity by being selected for the British team at the 1948 Olympics. In his late seventies Robert Service made a return visit to Glasgow and I remember him as an amazingly alert individual who wore his years very lightly. By that time he had been living for many years in France-in fact he settled there after the First World War and spent the greater part of his life there. I was surprised to learn that he had only spent eight years in the Yukon, at the turn of the century; but such was his literary impact on it that his memory in Canada's far north­ west and the coastal towns of the Alaskan panhandle is remarkably fresh to this day. His 6 rollicking ballads, peppered with larger-than-life characters like Dan McGrew and Sam McGee, Blasphemous Bill and Pious Pete, have been parodied and plagiarised, and are currently the mainstay of the Yukon's embryonic tourist industry. But Service was just as familiar with the rabelaisian humour of Lancashire (so hilariously evident in the ballad of Bessie's Boil), as with the language of the sourdough and the cheechako. Not surprisingly, in view of his upbringing, he was no mean versifier in Lallans. His best piece in this genre is 'The Haggis of Private McPhee': 'Hae ye heard whit ma auld mither's postit tae me? It fair maks me hamesick,' says Private McPhee. 'And whit did she send ye?' says Private McPhun, As he cockit his rifle and bleezed at a Hun. 'A haggis! A Haggis!'says Private McPhee; 'The brawest big haggis I ever did see. And think! it's the morn when fond memory turns Tae haggis and whuskey-the Birthday o' Burns. We maun find a dram; then we'll ea' in the rest O' the lads, and we'll hae a Burns' Nicht wi' the best.' To judge by my mailbag there is no shortage of bards, rhymers, poets and poetasters jostling to follow in the footsteps of the two Roberts. Last year I mentioned the embarras de richesse in the way of manuscripts, which I was then accumulating. Far from diminishing, the stockpile is rapidly approaching the proportions of an EEC 'mountain'. I now have sufficient poetic effusions, from sonnets to full-blown sagas, to fill a stout anthology (indeed, that may be one way out of the dilemma). I have a similarly growing pile of other manuscripts, all very worthy and destined to see the light of day in these pages one of these years. My feelings of frustration are almost as great as those of the anguished authors anxious to see their work in print. Mercifully, only one writer has accused me of that cavalier disregard that poor Burns himself was wont to suffer at the hands of his literary exploiters. To my contributors, past, present and future, I would counsel patience-and please, do not be deterred from submitting articles for publication. Priority tends to be given to material which is, as they say in Fleet Street, time-sensitive; but if you do not get an immediate rejection you may rest assured that your piece will get printed some day. This problem has been created and exacerbated by the Club Reports.

  • 1. August Angellier in Robert Burns, La Vie, Les Oeuvres, 2 Vols (Paris
    Notes CHAPTER 1 THE EARLY PERIOD: BURNS' INTUITIVE USE OF SCOTTISH TRADITION 1. August Angellier in Robert Burns, La Vie, Les Oeuvres, 2 vols (Paris, 1983) pointed to this when he said: 'But underneath this scholarly poetry there existed a popular poetry which was very abundant, very vigorous, very racy and very original'. See especially p. 14 of Jane Burgoyne's selected translation from Angellier in the Burns Chronicle and Club Directory, 1969. Other portions of the translation appeared in 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973. 2. J. De Lancey Ferguson (ed.) The Letters of Robert Burns, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1931), 1: 106, no. 125. Burns adopted a superior tone here in keeping with the accepted pose of the eighteenth-century man of letters. All references to Burns' letters are to Ferguson's edition. Only letter numbers will be given when the citation appears in the text proper. 3. Most critics and students of Burns take some stance towards his relationship with previous work. Hans Hecht, Robert Burns: The Man and His Work, 2nd rev. ed. (London: William Hodge & Company, 1950), p. 29, suggests that Burns was the culmination of a tradition, but he speaks of a literary rather than a cultural inheritance. 4. See T. S. Eliot, The Sacred Wood (London: Methuen, 1950), pp. 47-59. 5. Angellier earlier suggested this division and I agree with him that Burns' work prior to Edinburgh was dominated by depiction of the world around him. After Edinburgh, Angellier indicates that Burns relied less on the specific incidents and more on general sentiments.

  • CAUGHT in the HEADLINES Scottish Media Coverage of Scottish Gypsy Travellers
    CAUGHT IN THE HEADLINES Scottish media coverage of Scottish Gypsy Travellers Amnesty International FOREWORD SUMMARY Amnesty International is concerned at the wealth of evidence showing discrimination against Scottish Gypsy Travellers and the hostility and divisions between Scottish Gypsy Traveller and settled communities. We believe that both groups lose out from the current situation. Given the low level of meaningful engagement between the two communities, the media has an important role to play in how settled communities gather information and form opinions about Scottish Gypsy Travellers. Yet anyone taking a cursory interest in the issue will quickly become aware of mainly hostile press coverage. To get an overview of the situation, we commissioned a media clippings agency to identify all Scottish coverage relating to Scottish Gypsy Travellers over a Amnesty International in Scotland four-month period. We received 190 articles which we characterised according to whether each was considered positive, negative or neutral. We also noted the length of each article. Amnesty Scotland recognises the efforts of journalists in Scotland, and in particular of the National Union of Journalists, Through that analysis we found: in striving towards producing high quality reporting of ethnic minorities. • With 190 articles in Scotland over four months (or 120 days) there is an average of nearly 1.5 articles a day about Scottish Gypsy Travellers. Given that there is a very small population of However, our research into media reporting of Scottish Scottish Gypsy Travellers (c. 20,000 people or less than 0.5 per cent of the Scottish population)1 Gypsy Travellers found that a significant number of articles this group receives a disproportionate level of scrutiny.

  • Scottish Art: Then and Now
    Scottish Art: Then and Now by Clarisse Godard-Desmarest “Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now”, an exhibition presented in Edinburgh by the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture tells the story of collecting Scottish art. Mixing historic and contemporary works, it reveals the role played by the Academy in championing the cause of visual arts in Scotland. Reviewed: Tom Normand, ed., Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now Collected by the Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture, Edinburgh, The Royal Scottish Academy, 2017, 248 p. The Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) and the National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) have collaborated to present a survey of collecting by the academy since its formation in 1826 as the Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now (4 November 2017-7 January 2018) is curated by RSA President Arthur Watson, RSA Collections Curator Sandy Wood and Honorary Academician Tom Normand. It has spawned a catalogue as well as a volume of fourteen essays, both bearing the same title as the exhibition. The essay collection, edited by Tom Normand, includes chapters on the history of the RSA collections, the buildings on the Mound, artistic discourse in the nineteenth century, teaching at the academy, and Normand’s “James Guthrie and the Invention of the Modern Academy” (pp. 117–34), on the early, complex history of the RSA. Contributors include Duncan Macmillan, John Lowrey, William Brotherston, John Morrison, Helen Smailes, James Holloway, Joanna Soden, Alexander Moffat, Iain Gale, Sandy Wood, and Arthur Watson.
