  • The Literary and Historical Origins of the Burns Myth
    , A. M. Kinghorn THE LITERARY AND HISTORICAL ORIGINS OF THE BURNS MYTH ON JANUARY 25, 1959, we arrived at the two hundredth birthday of Robert Burns, whose literary life-span has far exceeded his own modest expectations. In his own time he sought fame as a poet and writer of Scottish songs for reasons partly per­ sonal and partly patriotic, and the story of his brief appearance in the Edinburgh limelight is well-known. In our own age the name of Burns is still a familiar one throughout the civilized world, and his songs have been rendered into more than a score of foreign languages, including Afrikaans, Hebrew, Hindustani and, let it be added, English. We occasionally hear of an unrewarding comparison being made between Burns and Shakespeare, sometimes to the disadvantage of the latter, and making the point that Burns is supreme among the poets as a symbol of national character. In the words of the late Edwin Muir, Burns "is a myth evolved by the popular imagination, a communal poetic creation. He is a Protean figure; we can all shape him to our own likeness, for a myth is endlessly adaptable."1 This is why people all over the world celebrate "Burns Nicht" on January 25 and not "Byron Night" on January 22, "Poe Nite" on January 19 or "Schiller Nacht" (in 1959 another two-hundredth anniversary) on November 10. I think that Burns himself would be surprised to know that his name is still a familiar one, even though the reasons for this survival have generally but a remote connection with poetry as artifact.

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.

Resilient Communities 1.1 What is a Resilient Community? Resilient Communities is an initiative supported by local, scottish, and the UK Governments, the principles of which are, communities and individuals harnessing and developing local response and expertise to help themselves during an emergency in a way that complements the response of the emergency responders. Emergencies happen, and these can be severe weather, floods, fires, or major incidents involving transport etc. Preparing your community and your family for these types of events will make it easier to recover following the impact of an emergency. Being aware of the risks that you as a community or family may encounter, and who within your community might be able to assist you, could make your community better prepared to cope with an emergency. Local emergency responders will always have to prioritise those in greatest need during an emergency, especially where life is in danger.

    GEOLOGICAL HISTORY The Iapetus Ocean lay between two continents which moved Visiting St Abbs towards each other for about 30 million years, until they finally collided about 420 million years ago. As the Iapetus oceanic St Abb’s Head is a National Nature Reserve St Abb’s crust slid beneath a huge continent the oceanic floor sediments with spectacular cliffs, a small loch and were stripped off, folded and faulted. many nesting seabirds during the summer. The headland is managed by the National Greywackes Trust for Scotland and the footpaths are Head Continent accessible all year round.

Conglomerates A geology walk and sandstones were deposited in valleys as the mountains were weathered and eroded. During the final phase of the collision, about 400-390 million years ago, a line of small volcan- ic cones erupted lavas onto the plains and river valleys. Sandstones and conglomerates Greywackes Volcanic cone St Abb’s Head looking towards Mire Loch Volcanic neck Later faulting caused the rocks on the NE side of the St Abb’s Head Fault to move downwards relative to older rocks on the SW side of the fault. A lamprophyre dyke was intruded 400 million years ago.
