THINGS TO THINK ABOUT • Everyone in your class has found the answers to the same questions - you might want to do some additional research so that you can give some extra information and add interesting detail to your talk • Design your PowerPoint to add to your talk—it’s not just a matter of reading what is on each slide to your audience. They can do that for themselves! • Do not put large chunks of text on a slide. • Use sound, graphics and animation sparingly. Less is more in a PowerPoint. • If you need help use the ‘Making a PowerPoint Help Guide’. Poetry Many poems either start as songs or, because of their Charlie’s, He’s My Darling rhythm and rhyme pattern, are set to music. Many of Burns’ Twas on a Monday morning, poems have been sung.

Robert Burns The Twa Dogs • This is one of Robert Burns’ most admired poems. • It was written some time early in 1786 and was composed after Burns’ favourite dog, Luath, had been killed just the night before Burns’ own father died. • The poet wanted to include in his published work something that would mark his affection for his canine friend. • Below is a picture of the manuscript of the poem in Burns’ handwriting. • On the next page you will find an extract from the poem about the dogs, one called Caesar and the other Luath. The Twa Dogs 'Twas in that place o' Scotland's isle, A rhyming, ranting, raving billie, That bears the name o' auld king COIL, Wha for his friend an' comrade had Upon a bonie day in June, him, When wearing thro' the afternoon, And in his freaks had Luath ca'd him, Twa Dogs, that were na thrang at After some dog in Highland sang, hame, Was made lang syne, lord knows how Forgather'd ance upon a time. lang.

Michael Newton, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill It has become an article of faith for many North Americans (especially white anglophones) that the pedigree of modern country-western music is “Celtic.” The logic seems run like this: country-western music emerged among people with a predominance of Scottish, Irish, and “Scotch-Irish” ancestry; Scotland and Ireland are presumably Celtic countries; ballads and the fiddle seem to be the threads of connectivity between these musical worlds; therefore, country-western music carries forth the “musical DNA” of Celtic heritage.

  • What Kind of Contact Do the Names Really Point
    Among Dimons and Papeys: What kind ofcontact do the names really point to? Peder Gammeltoft The Viking Age and its ilnpact on the North Atlantic area have interested historians, archaeologists and onOlnasts alike for well over a century now. Questions such as: "When did the Vikings arrive?", "Where did they first settle?" and "What happened to the original inhabitants?", have been central to the discussion right from beginning. The focus of this paper will be on the last of the above­ tnentioned questions, nalnely the relationship of the incoming Scandinavians with the already existing populations. Since I work on place-names, I shall address the issue frotn an onomastic and linguistic perspective. Place-nanles of Scandinavian origin number tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands in the Scottish Isles, the Faeroes and Iceland. The vast majority of these, however, cannot reveal anything about the contact between the Scandinavians and the indigenous populations. Therefore, I shall focus on two name-types, nalnely the place-nalnes like Dbnon and the place-natnes in Pap-. The reason for focussing on the Dbnons and the Pap-natnes is that these two name-types are generally taken to be proof of Scandinavian­ Gaelic contact. In the following, I shall attelnpt to weigh the Dimons and Papeys against each other and see what types of contact they reflect from an onotnastic point ofview. 1. The place-name type Dimon. It has generally been assutned that the place-natne construction DiJl10n is derived froln a cOlnpound of the Gaelic words di 'two' and 111uinn, f. 'top, back', Iiterally meaning: 'The place with the two tops'.

  • Five Typical Scotch Irish Families of the Cumberland Valley
    NYPL RESEARCH LIBRARIES 3 3433 08071545 5 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2008 with funding from Microsoft Corporation http://www.archive.org/details/fivetypicalscotcOOshoe FIVE TYPICAL SCOTCH IRISH FAMILIES OF THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY By Mary Craig Shoemaker ls^fooA PREFATORY NOTE About twenty-five years ago I did some research work along the line of the early settlement of the Cumberland Valley, Pennsyl- vania and became much interested in the history of some of the families of my ancestors who were among the first settlers of this valley. Old records were searched, archives were studied, many people of the older generation interviewed, hundreds of letters were written and received and many hours spent in conversation and among tombstones. A mass of disconnected data was the result. Many people with whom I corresponded urged me to print what I had collected so that it might be available to descendants of these families now widely scattered over the country. Before I had time to arrange the material in hand, in any way fit for publication, illness in my family broke in upon my work and after an interruption of a couple of years my interest had lagged and until now, the notes collected so laboriously, have lain un- disturbed. On looking over them this year my first impulse was to destroy them but second thought urged me to preserve them in the hope that someone else might sometime take them up and fill out the gaps. Our ancestors were necessarily engrossed with the material exigencies of the times, the men clearing land, plowing, sowing, cultivating, reaping, milling, distilling; the women weaving, spinning, sewing, baking, cleaning, and cooking.

  • Prophecy and Cultural Conflict in Gaelic Tradition
    Prophecy and Cultural Conflict in Gaelic Tradition MICHAEL NEWTON The theme of prophecy appears in virtually all genres of Scottish Gaelic literature, written and oral, in every era from which we have surviving evidence. Prophecy has often been used towards social and political ends, especially as propaganda at times of crisis and discord. Despite the pervasiveness of this theme, prophecy has received scant attention in scholarship about Scottish Gaelic literature and tradition. In this brief survey I will examine the rôle of prophecy as a cultural resource in Scottish Gaelic society, especially in the context of cultural conflict and upheaval. I will for the most part be leaving aside prophecy significant at a merely personal or local level and will be examining the ways that seers, or interpreters of prophecy, discuss the potential future of Gaelic society at large. The dominant voice in Scottish Gaelic tradition for such prophecy is Thomas the Rhymer, and the adoption of this Border poet as a prophetic and messianic figure is counter-intuitive. I will examine the appearance of Thomas in Gaelic literature and suggest some ways in which he may have entered oral tradition and attained such stature in the Scottish Highlands. Millenarism in Gaeldom The formation of the kingdom of Scotland was due largely to the success of Gaelic institutions and leaders. Centuries later, the seminal rôle of the Gaels in Scottish history remained in Gaelic consciousness. ‘The sense of integrity of the kingdom of Scotland […] emerges time and time again in Gaelic tradition and the integrating principle is a sense of the Gaelic basis of Scotland.’ (MacInnes 1989a: 96).

It presents the results of the first corpus-based analysis of Modern Scottish Gaelic orthographic development combined with an analytic approach that places orthographic choices in their sociolinguistic context. The theoretical framework behind the analysis centres on discussion of how the language ideologies of the phonographic ideal, historicism, autonomy, vernacularism and the ideology of the standard itself have shaped orthographic conventions and debates.

This thesis has been produced under the conditi of the Gatty (Florence Emily and Charles Tindal) Memorial Scholarship, the holder of which "must pursue advanced study or research in Scottish Language and Literature with special reference to dialects on both sides of the border and to such border antiquities and music as bear on the subject". In order to satisfy these requirements as far as possible, rather more attention has been given to historical and dialectal notes than is usual or neces- sary in place-name studies. The following work is intended as a survey of Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian place-name. material in the Border Counties. I have tried to demonstrate ; chat types of names occur, where they are situated, and roughly to what period they belong.

FIFTH EDITION LONDON: HARRISON, PALL MALL. Bookseller to The Queen, and H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. 1871 1 From Wikipedia: Burke's Landed Gentry (original title Burke's Commoners) is the result of nearly two centuries of intense work by the Burke family, and others since, in building a collection of books of genealogical and heraldic interest, which has evolved with Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage. The Burke's Landed Gentry, as a detailed listing of key families or other influential figures in the United Kingdom, was first published in 1826, as developed by Sir John Bernard Burke. Burke's Landed Gentry is widely used by historians and genealogical researchers. 4 Ewing Family Journal Vol. 17, No. 1 (February 2011) p 746 General Library System University of Wisconsin - Madison 728 State Street Madison, WI 53707-1494 U.S.A.
