In the _ .train of Anne, Princefs of Denmark, when £he came to Scot land with her hufband, James the Sixth, there came over alfo a Daniih gentle- man of gigantic Stature and great pro wefs, and a matchlefs devotee of Bacchus; He had a curious ebony Ca', or Whiftle, which, at the beginning of the orgies he lard on the table, and whoever was laft able to blow the Whiftle, every body elfe oeing difabled by the potency of the bottle, was to carry off the Whittle as a trophy of victory. _The Dane produced credentials of hia victories, without a fmgle defeat, at the courts of Copenhagen, Stock- holm Mofcow, Warfaw,and feveral of the petty courts of Germany; and the challenged Scotifh Bacchanalians to the alternative of trying his prowefs, or elfe of acknowledging their inferiority. - After many overthrows on the patt of the Scots the Dane was encountered by Sir Robert Lowne of Max- wciton, ancestor to the prefent Sir Robert, who after three days & nights Claret- (hed, left the fcandinavian dead-drunk,"And blew on the Whiftle his requiem fhrill" — Sir Walter I owrie, fon to Sir Robert before menti- oned, r afterwards loft the Whiftle to Walter Riddel 'ilenriddel, who had married the fifter of Sir Walter. On Friday, tLn Sixteenth of October 1790, the Whiftle was once more contended for, as related in the Ballad, by the prefent Sir Robert Lowneof Maxwelton; Rob! Riddel f Kfrj of Glenriddei, lineal defcendant and representative of Walter Ridde . who won the Whiftle, and in whofe r Family it had continued; and Alex , Fergufon.EfaI of Craigdarroch, likewife descended of the great Sir Robett, which laft gentleman carried off the hard -won honors of the Field.

The tenants live there, rent and rate free and receive a small pension. 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.

    m ANNOTATIONS JOHNSON'S SCOTS MUSICAL MUSEUM, BY ROBERT BURNS. I" IN the meantime, at your leisure, give a copy of the 'Museum.' to my -worthy friend, Mr. Peter Hill, bookseller, to bind for me, interleaved with blank leaves, exactly as he did the Laird of GUenriddel's; that I may insert every anecdote I can learn, together with my own criticisms and remarks on the songs." Letter to Johnson, 1794. On the copy so ordered, it ' would appear, the following annotations, or strictures,' as they have been incorrectly called, were made by our Author, and the book presented by him to Captain Riddel. This valuable memorial of friendship (unfortunately interrupted) came ultimately into possession of the Captain's niece, Miss Eliza Bayley, of Manchester. By her permission, Mr. Cromek ex- tracted the Notes for publication among his 'Eeliques' from which we copy them, with Editor's own notes in their place. We may observe, however, that either the order in which Mr. Cromek has arranged them is incorrect, or the binding of the ' Museum' by Mr. Peter Hill has been imperfect for the annotations are by no means always in the order of the songs as they appear in that work. The songs themselves referred to and commented on we would gladly quote in full, but the limits of our present publication prevent it. A few additional notes or corrections, where necessary, have been added by us [in brackets] from other sources.] is of these is a The Highland Queen. conjecture, one very few ; as the ballad, which is called both tradition and in THE Highland Queen, music and poetry, was composed by long one, by printed collections, "The Lass o' which I take to be in a Mr.

    CHRONOLOGICALLY ARRANGED. 191 O'ER THE MTJIE. JEAN GLOVER, A STROLLING Player. She was born at Kilmarnock in the year 1758, and at a comparatively early age eloped with an actor, and in her future life had a full share of the usual lot of strollers almost constant poverty, vice, and riot. Burns, to whom we are indebted for the preservation of this song, took it down from her singing. She died suddenly at Letter- kenny in Ireland, in 1801. COMIN' through the craigs o' Kyle, Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather, There I met a bonnie lassie, Keepin' a' her flocks thegither. Ower the muir amang the heather, Ower the muir amang the heather, There I met a bonnie lassie, Keepin' a' her flocks thegither. Says I, My dear, where is thy hame ? In muir or dale, pray tell me whether ? Says she, I tent the fleecy flocks That feed amang the bloomin' heather. We laid us down upon a bank, Sae warm and sunnie was the weather ; She left her flocks at large to rove Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather. She charm'd my heart, and aye sinsyne I could nae think on ony ither : By sea and sky ! she shall be mine, The bonnie lass amang the heather. 192 THE SOSGS OF SCOTLAND PART III.
