    LIBRARY OF THE University of California. Class VZQlo ' i" /// s Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2007 with funding from Microsoft Corporation http://www.archive.org/details/balladssongsofayOOpaterich THE BALLADS AND SONGS OF AYRSHIRE, ILLUSTRATED WITH SKETCHES, HISTORICAL, TRADITIONAL, NARRATIVE AND BIOGRAPHICAL. Old King Coul was a merry old soul, And a jolly old soul was he ; Old King Coul he had a brown bowl, And they brought him in fiddlers three. EDINBURGH: THOMAS G. STEVENSON, HISTORICAL AND ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLER, 87 PRINCES STREET. MDCCCXLVII. — ; — CFTMS IVCRSI1 c INTRODUCTION. Renfrewshire has her Harp—why not Ayrshire her Lyre ? The land that gave birth to Burns may well claim the distinction of a separate Re- pository for the Ballads and Songs which belong to it. In this, the First Series, it has been the chief object of the Editor to gather together the older lyrical productions connected with the county, intermixed with a slight sprinkling of the more recent, by way of lightsome variation. The aim of the work is to collect those pieces, ancient and modern, which, scattered throughout various publications, are inaccessible to many readers ; and to glean from, oral recitation the floating relics of a former age that still exist in living remembrance, as well as to supply such in- formation respecting the subject or author as maybe deemed interesting. The songs of Burns—save, perhaps, a few of the more rare—having been already collected in numerous editions, and consequently well known, will form no part of the Repository. In distinguishing the Ballads and Songs of Ayrshire, the Editor has been, and will be, guided by the connec- tion they have with the district, either as to the author or subject ; and now that the First Series is before the public, he trusts that, whatever may be its defects, the credit at least will be given Jiim of aiming, how- ever feebly, at the construction of a lasting monument of the lyrical literature of Ayrshire.

  • Clan KENNEDY
    Clan KENNEDY ARMS Argent, a chevron Gules between three cross crosslets fitchée Sable, all within a double tressure flory counterflory Gules CREST A dolphin naiant Proper MOTTO Avise la fin (Consider the end) SUPPORTERS Two swans Proper, beaked and membered Gules Cunedda, a chieftain of the Votdini tribe of Lothian, was sent by the Saxon leader, Vortigern, to southwest Scotland to establish settlements intended to resist Picto-Scottish sea raids. These settlements spread down the west coast as far as north Wales. In the Celtic language, Cunedda was rendered as Cunneidigh (meaning ugly or grim- headed), and the name gradually became especially associated with the district of Carrick in Ayrshire. Gilbert Mac Kenedi witnessed a charter granting lands in Carrick to the abbey at Melrose in the early part of the reign of William the lion, while Gillespie Kennedy is named as senechal of Carrick in charters during the reign of Alexander II. The Kennedys claimed blood kinship with the Earls of Carrick and supported Bruce in the War of Independence. They were rewarded when Robert II confirmed John Kennedy of Dunure as chief of his name and Baillie of Carrick in 1372. His direct descendent, Gilbert was created Lord Kennedy around 1457 and was one of the regents of the infant James III. A brother of the first Lord Kennedy, James Kennedy, was one of Scotland’s best-loved bishops. He served briefly as High Chancellor of Scotland and was Bishop of Dunkeld, and later Archbishop of St Andrews. At St Andrews he founded St Salvator’s College in 1455.

    Featuring Wallace High School in Stirling, Scotland and Their New Tartan Photo Credit Todd Wallace Taken from Stirling Castle PAGE 2 THE GUARDIAN SPRING 2018 Letter From the President Calling all CWS members to come join the members of the board in Utah for the games in Moab on November 3rd and 4th. A great time and great scenery guaranteed for all who attend. Planning our trip out to the western U.S. is progressing, but not without a few bumps and bruises. Two of the games we had planned to do have moved to new dates. But that still leaves 8 games on our itinerary. Setting up a 9000 mile trip takes a lot of planning as does running an organization like the Clan Wallace Society. Shortly council members will be asked to nominate folks to join the board. We have at least 3 board positions coming open, please step up and let us know your interested in helping run the organization. Todd has done another great job with the Newsletter. If you have an interesting story to share or would like to see an article concerning something you’re passionate about, let Todd know. We also have an excellent Website, with information about upcoming games, and other interesting facts and tidbits. Let our Webmaster know if you have something to share. For those interested, we still have some of the 50th Anniversary Coins available. See the website or your local Convener for more information. See you at the games!! Russ Letter from the Editor I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for all the kind words regarding the Winter issue! When I agreed to taking on the newsletter, I had no idea that I would have this much fun putting it all together.
