  • Comprehension – Robert Burns – Y5m/Y6d – Brainbox Remembering Burns Robert Burns May Be Gone, but He Will Never Be Forgotten
    Robert Burns Who is He? Robert Burns is one of Scotland’s most famous poets and song writers. He is widely regarded as the National Poet of Scotland. He was born in Ayrshire on the 25th January, 1759. Burns was from a large family; he had six other brothers and sisters. He was also known as Rabbie Burns or the Ploughman Poet. Childhood Burns was the son of a tenant farmer. As a child, Burns had to work incredibly long hours on the farm to help out. This meant that he didn’t spend much time at school. Even though his family were poor, his father made sure that Burns had a good education. As a young man, Burns enjoyed reading poetry and listening to music. He also enjoyed listening to his mother sing old Scottish songs to him. He soon discovered that he had a talent for writing and wrote his first song, Handsome Nell, at the age of fifteen. Handsome Nell was a love song, inspired by a farm servant named Nellie Kilpatrick. Becoming Famous In 1786, he planned to emigrate to Jamaica. His plans were changed when a collection of his songs and poems were published. The first edition of his poetry was known as the Kilmarnock edition. They were a huge hit and sold out within a month. Burns suddenly became very popular and famous. That same year, Burns moved to Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland. He was made very welcome by the wealthy and powerful people who lived there. He enjoyed going to parties and living the life of a celebrity.

Ross Roy University of South Carolina - Columbia Publication Info 2018, pages 77-83. (c) G. Ross Roy, 1984; Estate of G. Ross Roy; and Studies in Scottish Literature, 2019. First published as introduction to Auld Lang Syne, by Robert Burns, Scottish Poetry Reprints, 5 (Greenock: Black Pennell, 1984). This Chapter is brought to you by the Robert Burns Collections at Scholar Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Selected Essays on Robert Burns by G. Ross Roy by an authorized administrator of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. “AULD LANG SYNE” (1984) A good case can be made that “Auld Lang Syne” is the best known “English” song in the world, & perhaps the best known in any language if we except national anthems. The song is certainly known throughout the English-speaking world, including countries which were formerly part of the British Empire. It is also known in most European countries, including Russia, as well as in China and Japan. Before and during the lifetime of Robert Burns the traditional Scottish song of parting was “Gude Night and Joy be wi’ You a’,” and there is evidence that despite “Auld Lang Syne” Burns continued to think of the older song as such. He wrote to James Johnson, for whom he was writing and collecting Scottish songs to be published in The Scots Musical Museum (6 vols. Edinburgh, 1787-1803) about “Gude Night” in 1795, “let this be your last song of all the Collection,” and this more than six years after he had written “Auld Lang Syne.” When Johnson published Burns’s song it enjoyed no special place in the Museum, but he followed the poet’s counsel with respect to “Gude Night,” placing it at the end of the sixth volume.

  • The Rankin Family Live at the Red Robinson Show Theatre
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 11, 2011 BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS THE RANKIN FAMILY LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE FRIDAY, JANUARY 27 Coquitlam, BC – It was in 1989 when Cape Breton siblings – Raylene, John Morris, Jimmy, Cookie and Heather Rankin – began touring together professionally when just a year later with the independent release of their second recording, Fare Thee Well Love, they were signed to Capitol/EMI Music. After the label re-released the album in 1992, it quickly went on to become a platinum seller with the title track finding its way to the Disney film, Into the West. The following year, they released North Country which featured the popular title track along with “Borders and Time” resulting in another-multi platinum success for The Rankin Family. Their music crossed over many musical styles earning them a fast growing following as well as industry accolades that included six Juno Awards and fifteen East Coast Music Awards. Both Grey Dusk of Eve and Endless Seasons were released in 1995 followed by Heather, Cookie and Raylene’s best-selling Christmas album, Do You Hear What I Hear. In 1998, the group released their final album together … aptly titled Uprooted. The following year, they decided to go their separate ways … each pursuing their own interests and musical projects. It wasn’t until eight years later that in 2007, they released their Reunion album and the family soon set out on a cross-Canada tour with niece Molly Rankin – daughter of the late John Morris – completing the line-up. It was as though no time had passed … night after night, audiences welcomed them back into the fold.

  • GWL East End Women's Heritage Walk Map (PDF)
    The women of Glasgow’s East End have always had to be industrious and resourceful simply to survive. This walk focuses on some of their achievements and struggles, and the radical nature of the area which gave birth to them. But fi rst let us acknowledge the unrecorded ranks whose destinies were unfairly determined by their gender. Women are invisible in early sources about Glasgow, but the laws passed after the Reformation of 1560 paint a grim picture of female subordination to a misogynist theocracy. Glasgow Cross (1) was a marketplace from medieval times, but also a site of punishment. Iron head-cages with spiked mouthpieces were excavated nearby; ‘scolds’ were amongst the punished women. A pulley was built over the Clyde to duck adulterers. Witches were likely held, interrogated and tried at the old Tolbooth here, and prostitutes were carted WOMEN’S across town, ducked, put in stocks and then banished to drums and chants.

Ken Suttie addressed the haggis, I delivered the Immortal Memory, Michael Haines gave the toast Tae the Lassies and Laura Grinham responded on behalf of the lassies.
