A chain is also flexible something we in the Federation must be to enable us to embrace CHANGE, whilst retaining th e basic elements of our hi storical organisation. During my term of office the Presidential chain has been much admired, especially by CHILDR EN. They were interested in the history of the Federation and anxious to learn about Robert Burns. I must say I have been heartened by the obvious talent in our schools as demonstrated by the large number of participants in our schools competitions and I-am delighted that we now have a number of schools who are members of the Federation. Whenever 1 have been in th e presence of chi ldren I am constantly amazed at the enthusiasm that they exude in being part of an organisation whether it be during School Assembly, Church Service or participating in the National Competitions, that is why I consider them as the future of our chain. It is refreshing to note that our youngsters are able to COMMUNICATE free from the baggage of 'HOW THINGS USED TO BE'. Change for them is exciting, and I am reminded of a quote by Edmund Burke, who lived during the time of Robert Burns, he said, and I quote "A STATE WlTHOUT THE MEANS OF SOME CHANGE IS WITHOUT THE MEANS OF CONSERVATION". During my visit to various functions I have become aware of the lack of communication within the Burns movement none more so than being told 'I WAS NEVER ASKED BY THE BURNS FEDERATION TO BECOME AN INDIVIDUAL MEMBER' even though the person concerned had been a Club Secretary for many years (see page 158). I have mentioned the three C'S CH ANGE -CHILDREN - COMMUNICATION. We as members must surely embrace our enthusiasm for the Federation and it's future whilst remembering our beginnings over I 00 years ago. To receive a chain of office is a very special honour and l have been privi Iedged to wear the Presidential Chain during the past year always remembering that: "A CHAIN IS A FLEXIBLE L ENGTH OF LINKS USED F OR CO NNECTING".

Photos by George Grant. 3 FROM THE EDITOR he loss of any member of the Burns Federati on is indeed sad and thi s year as can b e seen T in the Obituari es commencin g on page 11 9, it has been a tragic time w ith the passin g of so many weel-kent Burnsians. It would be remi ss of me however, as editor of the Burns Chronicle and Th e Burnsian not to comment on the passin g of Past President of the Burns Federati on, Jim Campbell. It is not known b y many t hat Jim was in fact responsible fo r a large number of the photographs, mainl y from south of the Border, that appeared in our two pub I ications. O n many occasions he persona ll y fi nanced the purchase of film and th e developin g of same fo r the annual Federati on Confe rences. To me he was a good fri end and a great source of inspi rati on in all matters relating to the production of the magazin es and I will mi ss him greatl y. May Freedom, Harmony, and Love, Unite you in the Grand Design, Beneath th' 0111niscie11 1 £ye above - The glorious Architect divine. Controversial aspects connected with the li fe and works of the Poet have appeared fro m ti me to time (Particul arl y around the 25th Janu ary), and recently the research work by Patri ck Scott Hogg resulting in hi s "Robert Burns: The Los! Poems" has been the s ubject of much discussion.

    Hattie Family Memoirs

    HATTIE FAMILY MEMOIRS HATTIE FAMILY MEMOIRS An Account of the Families Descended from Alexander Hattie, Emigre of 1786, with Sketches of the Family Pioneers and Related Material BY ROBERT McCONNELL HATTIE AND JOSEPH HOWE KIRK Printed by The Imperial Publishing Company, Limited, Halifax, N. S., Canada, for Private Circulation by the Authors. 1936 FOREWORD HE present history is only a fragment, but it is hoped it may serve as a nucleus around which to gather T information on which to build up the family archives. The writer would be glad to have material not incorporated in this record that any descendant of the pioneer Hatties may have to supply-material relating not only to the pioneers them­ selves, but to any descendants down to the most recently born babe. While it is not proposed to produce a revised history, the writer would be glad to be the repository of authoritative in­ formation that in some way may be made available to the folk coming after us. In the form in which this history appears it is as complete in details as the limitations of time and circumstances have per­ mitted. Even in its incompleteness it results from much corres­ pondence and many personal interviews, and, indeed, from much travel in the countryside from which the descendants in this generation are sprung. There are many gaps; for there have been several points at which it has not been possible to make contacts whereby information could be obtained. In spite of much effort to have every name and date and statement herein fully verified, there are still no doubt many errors.

The project focuses on the effects in Scotland of the development of the new media of film and wireless. It addresses question as to what changes, over the first decades of the twentieth century, these two revolutionary forms of public technology effect on the established entertainment system in Scotland and on the Scottish experience of culture. The study presents a broad view of the cultural scene in Scotland over the period: discusses contemporary politics; considers established and new theatrical activity; examines the development of a film culture; and investigates the expansion of broadcast wireless and its influence on indigenous theatre.

Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter.

    The Scottish Poet, Robert Burns Was Born on January 25, 1759 in the “Auld Cley Biggin” That Is Now Known As Burns Cottage

    The Scottish poet, Robert Burns was born on January 25, 1759 in the “auld cley biggin” that is now known as Burns Cottage. The day of his birth is celebrated today throughout the world as Burns Night, with Burns Suppers, poems and songs, and remembrance of Scotland’s National Bard. The celebrations go further than a simple appreciation of Burns poems and songs – great as they may be. Burns has come to be a symbol for Scotland and a global brand for the Scots themselves. Burns was voted the Greatest Ever Scot by television viewers in a 2009 poll and Burns’s song Is there for Honest Poverty was chosen as the anthem to open the new Scottish Parliament. Yet, behind the global brand, lies a complex and surprising man, who grew from the obscurity of a small, West of Scotland village, to become perhaps the first modern celebrity. Some Robert Burns facts can be found on this page 1759 Born in Alloway on 25 January 1765–8 Burnes family move to Mount Oliphant Farm, near Alloway 1766 Burnes family move to Mount Oliphant Farm, near Alloway 1774 Writes his first song, O once I lov’d [a bonnie lass] 1777 Burnes family move to Lochlea Farm, near Tarbolton 1781 Becomes a Freemason 1781 Moves to Irvine to learn flax-dressing (preparing flax so it can be made into linen) 1784 His father, William Burnes, dies.
