Robert Burns was born in Alloway, Ayrshire in 1759. His parents were called William and Agnes and he was the eldest of seven children. Although the family were poor, William taught all of his children how to read and write. William was a tenant farmer and Robert helped him on the farm from a young age. Working on the farm inspired Robert to write poems about the different things he saw. The song “O Once I lov’d a bonnie lass” also known as “Handsome Nell” was written by Robert Burns in 1774, when he was just 15 years old! This was the first poem/song ever written by him and it is thought to be inspired by a worker on the farm called Nellie Kilpatrick. He was fascinated by her and this was the start of his love for the ladies! • Robert Burns’ dad William really valued education, so ensured his children were all educated. He was a hard worker and worked on the farm for most of his days. He died from exhaustion in 1784 and is buried in the Alloway Kirk. At around 1785, Robert Burns met Jean Armour (his future wife). During this time he was still in the midst of his farming life, this is when wrote his famous poems about a mouse and a head louse! Robert Burns sympathises for the little field mouse as all its hard work of preparing a home in the field is destroyed by one swoop of the plough, and now the mouse will need to suffer through the winter despite trying to make a little nest to keep it cosy. He was an early advocate against animal cruelty, and this was revealed through some of his work. Around 1788, Robert married Jean Armour and he had 12 children. Round about this time the poet sent a letter to a friend with the lyrics for Auld Lang Syne. It is interesting to note that Burns revealed he collected the lyrics for the song by noting it down after hearing an old man singing it! Burns sometimes adapted and improved old songs before publishing them again. He was responsible for the popularity of this version of the song. In the winter of 1790, Robert Burns wrote his famous poem Tam O’Shanter. Burns wanted to include the location of the Alloway Kirk as it was a significant place for him. It was the place his father was buried and also the place where he himself planned to be buried when he died. It is thought that the inspiration for Tam O’Shanter came from the real-life Douglas Graham, who was a tenant on the farm of Shanter. His wife Helen would often nag him for drinking too much! Douglas was a superstitious man who often blamed the Ayrshire witches for lost possessions, including his horse’s tail on one occasion! In 1791, Burns wrote another of his famous songs, Ae Fond Kiss. This is said to be about Agnes McLehose who was an educated woman who Burns met in Edinburgh, four years prior to writing the song about her. The pair would write love letters to each other and would sometimes write to each other twice in one day! When Burns wrote Ae Fond Kiss he sent it in a letter to Agnes on the 27th December 1791. On 21st of July 1796, Robert died at the age of 37 in Dumfries. Four days later, on the day of Robert’s funeral, his youngest child Maxwell was born. Although Burns died many years ago, his legacy lives on today worldwide. He is life, work and influence is celebrated every year on his birthday through Burns Suppers and various events.

You are going to create a piece of Scottish-themed art. The first step is to design some tartan. Tartan is a pattern made by horizontal and vertical coloured lines crossing over each other. The stripes that cross over each other are called setts. These setts are repeated over and over to create the pattern. Step 1: Using some inspiration from the pictures of tartan, cover a whole bit of paper in a tartan of your choice. You can use coloured pencils, pens or paint. If you don’t have anything colourful you can still design a tartan by leaning heavier or lighter using a pencil. Step 2: Start to think about which Scottish-themed silhouette you would like to choose for your artwork. Remember a silhouette is just an outline. Step 3: The final stage is to decide whether to: or use the silhouette as a template draw the silhouette on to cut out your tartan and stick it onto top of your tartan another bit of paper We are looking forward to seeing your artwork, enjoy! or use the silhouette as a template draw the silhouette on to cut out your tartan and stick it on top of your tartan another bit of paper Bienvenue à votre cours de français!
