Extractions: Born in Alloway, Ayrshire, in 1759 to William Burness, a poor tenant farmer, and Agnes Broun, Robert Burns was the eldest of seven. He spent his youth working his father's farm, but in spite of his poverty he was extremely well read - at the insistence of his father, who employed a tutor for Robert and younger brother Gilbert. At 15 Robert was the principal worker on the farm and this prompted him to start writing in an attempt to find "some kind of counterpoise for his circumstances." It was at this tender age that Burns penned his first verse, "My Handsome Nell", which was an ode to the other subjects that dominated his life, namely scotch and women. When his father died in 1784, Robert and his brother became partners in the farm. However, Robert was more interested in the romantic nature of poetry than the arduous graft of ploughing and, having had some misadventures with the ladies (resulting in several illegitimate children, including twins to the woman who would become his wife, Jean Armour), he planned to escape to the safer, sunnier climes of the West Indies.

Extractions: THE history and heritage accommodation guide to England, Scotland and Wales Welcome to History UK - the History of Scotland! Robert "Rabbie" Burns 1759 - 1796 Robert Burns is the best loved Scottish poet, admired not only for his verse and great love-songs, but also for his character, his high spirits, 'kirk-defying', hard drinking and womanising! He came to fame as a poet when he was 27 years old, and his lifestyle of wine, women and song made him famous all over Scotland. He was the son of a farmer, born in a cottage built by his father, in Alloway in Ayr. This cottage is now a museum, dedicated to Burns. As a boy, he always loved stories of the supernatural, told to him by an old widow who sometimes helped out on his fathers' farm and when Burns reached adulthood, he turned many of these stories into poems. After the death of his father in 1784, Burns inherited the farm but by 1786 he was in terrible financial difficulties: the farm was not successful and he had made two women pregnant. Burns decided to emigrate to Jamaica so to raise the money required for this journey, he published his 'Poems in the Scottish Dialect' in 1786, which was an immediate success. He was persuaded not to leave Scotland by Dr Thomas Blacklock and in 1787 an Edinburgh edition of the poems was published.

Burns also collected folk songs from across Scotland , often times revising or adapting them. His poem (and song) Auld Lang Syne is often sung at Hogmanay , and Scots Wha Hae served for a long time as an unofficial National anthem of the country. Other poems and songs of Burns that remain well known today across the world include A Red, Red Rose A Man's A Man for A' That To a Louse , and To a Mouse edit He was born in Alloway Ayrshire Scotland , the son of William Burnes or Burns, a small farmer, and a man of considerable force of character and self-culture. His youth was passed in poverty, hardship, and a degree of severe manual labour which left its traces in a premature stoop and weakened constitution. He had little regular schooling, and got much of what education he had from his father, who taught his children reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, and history, and also wrote for them "A Manual of Christian Belief." With all his ability and character, however, the elder Burns was consistently unfortunate, and migrated with his large family from farm to farm without ever being able to improve his circumstances. In Robert went to Irvine to become a flax-dresser, but, as the result of a New Year carousal of the workmen, including himself, the shop took fire and was burned to the ground. This venture accordingly came to an end. In

Extractions: Robert Burns was born on 25 January 1759 in the village of Alloway in Ayrshire . For much of his life he was involved with the land and physical toil and knew well the difficulties of poverty and deprivation. Nevertheless, as a young man he had taken to writing poetry, much of it in his native Scots language. This was unusual - by the end of the 18th century Scots was no longer regarded as the speech of "educated" men and women. In 1786 he was about to emigrate to the West Indies when he published a collection of his poems in the county town of Kilmarnock - "Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect". The book (now known as the Kilmarnock Edition) was an instant success and instead of emigrating he went to Edinburgh where he was welcomed by a number of leading literary figures. The money he earned firstly allowed him to travel. During his journeys he was to collect and edit many of the almost forgotten songs and, of course, obtain inspiration for further poetry. Despite the money which he earned from his poems, he still had to make a living by being both a farmer and an excise officer in Dumfries. While trying to cultivate an unproductive farm and carry out his duties as an exciseman, he continued to write - mainly collections of songs which would otherwise have been lost forever. His health had never been particularly robust and he died, aged 37, on 21 July 1796.

http://www.electricscotland.com/burns/rburns.html

Extractions: About Robert Burns It is not necessary here to attempt to disentangle or explain away the numerous amours in which he was engaged through the greater part of his life. It is evident that Burns was a man of extremely passionate nature and fond of conviviality; and the misfortunes of his lot combined with his natural tendencies to drive him to frequent excesses of self-indulgence. He was often remorseful, and he strove painfully, if intermittently, after better things. But the story of his life must be admitted to be in its externals a painful and somewhat sordid chronicle. That it contained, however, many moments of joy and exaltation is proved by the poems here printed. Burns' poetry falls into two main groups: English and Scottish. His English poems are, for the most part, inferior specimens of conventional eighteenth-century verse. But in Scottish poetry he achieved triumphs of a quite extraordinary kind. Since the time of the Reformation and the union of the crowns of England and Scotland, the Scots dialect had largely fallen into disuse as a medium for dignified writing. Shortly before Burns' time, however, Allan Ramsay and Robert Fergusson had been the leading figures in a revival of the vernacular, and Burns received from them a national tradition which he succeeded in carrying to its highest pitch, becoming thereby, to an almost unique degree, the poet of his people.

Extractions: No visitor to this part of the world should miss visiting Mauchline , which was the home of Robert Burns during the most creative period of his life. Here he met many of the characters who inspired him and wrote his poems about them. Lovers of Robert Burns' poems will also wish to visit beautiful Afton Glen near New Cumnock, ("flow gently sweet Afton"). Partway along the Glen a memorial has been created by local Burns enthusiasts. At The Cross in Kilmarnock town centre stands a statue of Burns and the printer, John Wilson, commemorating the publication of the first edition of Burns' poems close to that site in 1786. An original copy of the 'First Edition' or 'Kilmarnock Edition' can be seen at Dean Castle, Kilmarnock, along with a collection of Burns' handwritten manuscripts. On the afternoon of September 14th 1878 R. W. COCHRAN-PATRICK, Esq. of Woodside, laid the memorial stone in the presence of a large crowd in the Kay Park in Kilmarnock.. The statue was unveiled on 9th August 1879 by Colonel Alexander of Ballochmyle, before the largest number of spectators Kilmarnock had ever witnessed. The Museum building was in the Scottish Baronial style. It consisted of 2 storeys and a tower, the total height being 80 feet. Unfortunately, the monument was severely damaged in a fire in November 2004.

http://www.gis.net/~shepdog/BC_Museum/Permanent/Burns.html

Extractions: Nevertheless, in his short life, Burns was an excedingly prolific author of poems, ballads and songs, among them the welknown Scottish songs Ca' the Yowes Tae the Knowes, Ye Banks And Braes of Bonnie Doon, My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose, A Man's A Man For A' That, and of course Auld Land Syne; and the poems To a Mouse, Address to a Haggis, Tam o'Shanter, and the one we are concerned with here, The Twa Dogs. The Twa Dogs was written by Burns in 1785 when he was 26 years old. Gilbert Burns, the bard's brother, wrote this about the poem: "Robert had a dog, which he called Luath [after Cucullin's dog in Ossian's Fingal Luath means swift or fleet in Gaelic], that was a great favourite. The dog had been killed by the wanton cruelty of some person [and] Robert said to me that he should like to confer such immortality as he could bestow on his old friend Luath..." The poem, however, has little to do with the dog, except for the introductory verses, which appear below, and describe the dog's looks and personality. The bulk of the work is philosophical, dealing with the contrast between the life of the rich in the 18th century and the life of the poor, a contrast that Burns experienced firsthand. The words in Scots dialect appear in italics, with the translation of those words to the right.
