Funds are urgently required to complete a further ten Houses. Earlier houses, established 1915 which comprised the Bums House (in which the poet and Jean Armour began housekeeping 1788), Dr. John McKenzie's House and "Auld Nanse Tinnock's" (the "change-house" of Burns's poem "The Holy Fair") were purchased, repaired and gifted to the Association by the late Mr. Charles R. Cowie, J.P., Glasgow and, until the new houses at Mossgiel were built, provided accommodation for nine ladies. They are now out-dated as homes but con­ sideration is being given to their being retained by the Association and preserved as a museum.

  • Some Provisional Remarks on the Burns Paper Database.1
    1 “A parcel of mash’d old rags”: some provisional remarks on the Burns Paper 1 Database. (RONNIE YOUNG) Considering their widespread publication and global reach, the works of Robert Burns are perhaps worth far more than the paper they were originally written on, even taking into account the substantial cash value of a genuine manuscript by the poet. Yet paper - to us a relatively disposable medium - was for Burns a crucial part of a complex creative process and a central part of his life as poet, farmer and exciseman. The Burns Paper Database is a project to capture some of that life and, for the first time, to record the various details about the paper on which Burns wrote. Using recent technology - the software database and the digital image – to compare and assess Burns’s manuscripts, we can develop an aid to dating and authenticating Burns’s manuscripts and even reveal clues about the writing of specific works. As a poet who was characteristically self-aware about the process of writing, Burns also frequently showed awareness of the medium on which he wrote. On 18 July 1788, Robert Burns replied from Mauchline to the bookseller Peter Hill (1754-1837), excusing his failure to maintain a regular correspondence with his friend and business representative in Edinburgh: “You injured me, my dear Sir, in your construction of the cause of my Silence.—From Ellisland in Nithsdale to Mauchline in Kyle, is forty & five miles; there, a house a building, & farm inclosures & improvements to tend; here, A new—not so much indeed a new as a young

    Dumfries and Galloway Council LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2 Whithorn Conservation Area Character Appraisal Draft Supplementary Guidance - January 2018 draft www.dumgal.gov.uk draft This conservation area character appraisal was first adopted as supplementary planning guidance to the Wigtown Local Plan. That plan has been replaced by the Local Development Plan (LDP) which is reviewed every 5 years. The conservation area character appraisal is considered by the Council to remain relevant and so will be readopted as Supplementary Guidance to LDP2. Policy HE2: Conservation Areas ties the conservation area character appraisal to LDP2. The policy reinforces the importance and value of conservation area character appraisal as the policy states that “The Council will support development proposals within or adjacent to a conservation area that preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the area and is consistent with any relevant conservation area appraisal and management plan.” draft Whithorn Conservation Area Appraisal Contents Whithorn Conservation Area Character Appraisal .......................................... 3 Introduction ..................................................................................................... 3 Background ...........................................................................................................................3 The Conservation Area .........................................................................................................3 The Character Appraisal .......................................................................................................3

  • RBWF Burns Chronicle Index
    A Directory To the Articles and Features Published in “The Burns Chronicle” 1892 – 2005 Compiled by Bill Dawson A “Merry Dint” Publication 2006 The Burns Chronicle commenced publication in 1892 to fulfill the ambitions of the recently formed Burns Federation for a vehicle for “narrating the Burnsiana events of the year” and to carry important articles on Burns Clubs and the developing Federation, along with contributions from “Burnessian scholars of prominence and recognized ability.” The lasting value of the research featured in the annual publication indicated the need for an index to these, indeed the 1908 edition carried the first listings, and in 1921, Mr. Albert Douglas of Washington, USA, produced an index to volumes 1 to 30 in “the hope that it will be found useful as a key to the treasures of the Chronicle” In 1935 the Federation produced an index to 1892 – 1925 [First Series: 34 Volumes] followed by one for the Second Series 1926 – 1945. I understand that from time to time the continuation of this index has been attempted but nothing has yet made it to general publication. I have long been an avid Chronicle collector, completing my first full set many years ago and using these volumes as my first resort when researching any specific topic or interest in Burns or Burnsiana. I used the early indexes and often felt the need for a continuation of these, or indeed for a complete index in a single volume, thereby starting my labour. I developed this idea into a guide categorized by topic to aid research into particular fields.
