Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bonnie Scotland, Vol. 1 Almost all travellers who visit Scotland come here, - some merely to have it to say that they have seen the place, with other sights, and some because of a real love for poets and poetry. Robert Burns was a peasant, and the son of a peasant. His father´s cottage, which we visited first, was in his time what is called in Scotland "a clay bigging," containing only two apartments, a kitchen and a small sitting-room. We were sorry to find that an addition had been built on to it, and that it was occupied as an alehouse. There is a noble poem by Burns, entitled "The Cotter´s Saturday Night," in which this cottage is described, as are also the pious father and mother of the poet. Near by stands "old Alloway Kirk," a ruined stone church, also rendered famous by a poem, though of a very different character, entitled "Tam o´ Shanter." As this witty poem, like most of the writings of Robert Burns, is in the Scottish dialect, which my young readers would hardly understand, I will relate in plain prose the story, which made a great laugh through all the county of Ayrshire, some seventy-five years ago.
