Guide to the Robert Burns Holdings in the Rosenbach Museum & Library
Guide to the Robert Burns holdings in the Rosenbach Museum & Library 20 January 2021 HISTORICAL NOTE Robert Burns (1759-1796) is a national symbol for Scots, the greatest in a long line of poets who wrote in the Lowland Scots dialect. The son of a tenant farmer, he had little formal education; but he read widely, and drew largely on the folk tales and tunes of his native land. He began his life as a poet while working a farm with his brother, Gilbert, from 1784 to 1788. During this period he wrote some of his best poetry, but managed to scrape only the barest living. In 1786, trying to raise money for passage to Jamaica where a job awaited him, he published the Kilmarnock edition of his early poems. It made him famous, though not rich, and he continued to combine careers as farmer and poet. In 1789 he supplemented his income by obtaining an appointment in the excise, finally giving up his farm in 1791. SCOPE & CONTENT The Rosenbach holds the manuscripts of more than 50 poems, including such important ones as “For a’ that and a’ that”, “Bannockburn”, “Tam O’Shanter”, and “The Rights of Woman”; as well as approximately 50 letters to such close friends as Frances Dunlop, Agnes M’Lehose (Clarinda), and Maria Riddell; and several letters by Burns’s family and friends, including Gilbert Burns, William Riddell, and Helen Maria Williams. Our holdings also include more than 40 books by Burns, mostly early editions, including a copy of the first edition of his Poems that belonged to his patron Frances Dunlop, with copies of additional poems and letters in her hand bound in.

Executive summary The River Nith has been identified by SEPA as a pilot catchment for developing an approach to integrated, catchment scale management of water resources. The aim of the project was to identify achievable restoration and management options that provide the multiple benefits of moving water bodies in the Nith catchment to ‘good ecological status’ (under the Water Framework Directive (WFD)) and enhancing natural flood management (NFM), while also considering additional benefits (e.g., improved biodiversity, enhanced condition of specific habitats, socio-economic factors etc.).
