For #BurnsNight : "heaven-sent" Fergusson, inspiration to Burns, lies in the Canongate Kirk. His headstone erected by Burns; years later RL Stevenson planned to restore it. One memorial, three Scots writers, all Roberts.

Two Rebels Ceilidh Song Books just arrived!
The books were made by the Bo'ness Rebels Literary Society (1948-76), a nationalist group with links to the Scottish Folk Revival and Literary Renaissance.
Left one is the first book, c.1953, containing a bunch of older and newer songs.
Right one is from 1967, all contemporary songs. Its cover depicts Hugh MacDiarmid as a very angry thistle (c.f. image 2 for accuracy).

Running errands and chores today to get them out of the way so I can relax tomorrow (birthday).
Paused for a wee break in the lovely Turkish café, & finally started Genevieve Jagger's Fragile Animals from 404Ink , which has been on the slopes of my TBR mountain for too long ...

#LunchtimeReading : starting an advance copy of Richard Strachan's The Unrecovered, coming from Bloomsbury in February, after he kindly dropped a proof into the bookshop. I used to work with his mum years ago, she'd be delighted to see this

Robert Burns represents the humanitarian Scottish values that made America great in the first place. Here are some great songs and poems by top Scottish performers who submitted these specifically to this site in time for trump's inauguration in 2017. Enjoy & feel free to pass the link to others.

Pleased to see the March 2024 issue of Burns Chronicle is newly out from EUP. This issue includes my book review of "Scottish Poetry, 1730-1830" edited by Daniel Cook - a review free for all to read online. In a nutshell I really liked it, though since I was asked to write about 1000 words in my review I said much more than that! https://www.euppublishing.com/toc/burns/133/1 #ScottishLiterature #ScottishPoetry #RobertBurns #Poetry #18thCentury #EighteenthCentury #Scots #ScotsLeid #Gaelic #Poems #BookReview #Scotland

Ended up at the page of a #Gaelic lady poet whose poem I already know well from a sung #Capercaillie version. So then have to dig that out in iTunes! This in the new collection of Scottish #Poetry 1730-1830. It includes a lot of Gaelic poems (Gaelic first then translated version after) and poems by women. #ScottishPoetry #ScottishLiterature #Gaelic #GaelicPoetry #GaelicSongs #Scotland #EighteenthCentury #18thCentury

Supper and a new #book to read, a new collection of Scottish #poetry 1730-1830. Really looking forward to this. My own #PhD looked at Scottish reading habits in the same period, but I need to read more of the texts being read! #Books #Supper #Literature #ScottishLiterature #ScottishPoetry #Gaelic #GaelicPoetry #EighteenthCentury #18thCentury #ScottishHistory #Reading #ReadingHabits

Scott Monument catching the winter light on a rather chilly but lovely #SaintAndrewsDay in #Edinburgh
I love that our largest monument isn't to a king or conquering general, but to writers. Very civilised.

‘I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both.’
