When I want to express a sentiment which I feel strongly, I find the phrase in Shakespeare-or thee." Thus wrote Sir Walter Scott in his Journal. And to-day, as always, Burns's countrymen find in his songs the expression of their deepest feelings and beliefs. A teacher's work is never more worthwhile than when he introduces the next generation to this part of our inheritance. For more than seventy years the Burns Federation has helped such work. Now, along with McDougall's, it has prepared The Burns Federation Song Book especially for use in schools. This contains twenty songs, the texts of which have been taken from the best sources and scrupulously edited, with glossaries and notes on pronunciation. Some of the tunes are those to which Burns wrote his words, and others are ones which have become traditionally associated with them. They are all suited to the range of a child's voice, and the accompaniments are straight­ forward and musically satisfying. The Burns Federation Son~ Book is published in two forms: the Pupils' Edition, with staff and sol-fa notation, and the Piano Edition. Each book has the same full glossaries and phonetic pronunciations, together with an introductory note on pronuncia­ tion by David D. Murison, tP,e editor of The Scottish National Dictionary. The musical arrangements are by George Short, and the songs have been chosen and edited by John McVie. Pupils' Edition 2s. Sd. (3s. post free) Piano Edition 6s. 6d.

  • 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.

His letters repay scrutiny in terms of the various qualities they reveal: the reflection of the wide range of Burns’s reading, his remarkable powers of recall, and his capacity for mimicry; the diversity of voices and styles employed, indicating a considerable dramatic talent; the narrative verve and mastery of rhetoric that mark him out as the novelist manqué; and the psychological implications, in that the chameleon capacity of Burns the writer exacerbates the problems of identity of Burns the man.

  • National 5 Critical Reading Exam Scottish Text: Jackie Kay
    National 5 Critical Reading Exam Scottish Text: Jackie Kay Jackie Kay: National 5: Scottish text Jackie Kay Biography Jackie Kay was born in Edinburgh in 1961 to a Scottish mother and a Nigerian father. She was adopted as a baby by a white Scottish couple, Helen and John Kay, and grew up in Bishopbriggs, a suburb of Glasgow, in a 1950s-built Glasgow housing estate in a small Wimpey house, which her adoptive parents had bought new in 1957. They adopted Kay in 1961 having already adopted Jackie's brother, Maxwell, about two years earlier. Jackie and Maxwell also have siblings who were brought up by their biological parents. Her adoptive father worked for the Communist Party full-time and stood for Member of Parliament, and her adoptive mother was the Scottish secretary of Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. In August 2007, Jackie Kay was the subject of the fourth episode of The House I Grew Up In, in which she talked about her childhood. Initially harbouring ambitions to be an actress, she decided to concentrate on writing after Alasdair Gray, a Scottish artist and writer, read her poetry and told her that writing was what she should be doing. She studied English at the University of Stirling and her first book of poetry, the partially autobiographical The Adoption Papers, was published in 1991 and won the Saltire Society Scottish First Book Award. Her other awards include the 1994 Somerset Maugham Award for Other Lovers, and the Guardian First Book Award Fiction Prize for Trumpet, based on the life of American jazz musician Billy Tipton, born Dorothy Tipton, who lived as a man for the last fifty years of his life.[citation needed] She writes extensively for stage (in 1988 her play Twice Over was the first by a Black writer to be produced by Gay Sweatshop Theatre Group), screen and for children.
