Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Complete Songs and Poems of Robert Tannahill: With Life and Notes Robert Tannahill was born in Paisley on the 3rd of June, 1774. The Cottage, No. 32 Castle Street, is now, from very conclusive evidence, believed to be the birth-place of the poet; and on the anniversary of his birth, 3rd June, 1872, a memorial stone inserted in the front of the building (largely through the instrumentality of the late Bailie J. J. Lamb) was unveiled by Provost Murray in presence of the Tannahill Club, and a large concourse of people. The following is the inscription upon the tablet: - Birth Place of Robert Tannahill, Born 3rd June, 1774. "Here nature first waked me to rapture and love, And taught me, her beauties to sing." His father was a James Tannahill, who came originally from Kilmarnock, and his mother, Janet Pollock, the daughter of a farmer near Beith. Both parents were of most respectable character; and his mother, in particular, was gifted with an intelligence above her station. He was the fourth of a family of seven, and his education was very elementary, being limited to the three "R´s," and in these even his advancement was not great. The education, however, of one who is born a poet, does not altogether depend on schools and schoolmasters. Even in his school-days he showed a love for verse writing. When only ten years of age Tannahill began the writing of short pieces in verse, which were generally composed upon some "queer" character living in the neighbourhood, or upon some rare circumstance which had taken place. After leaving school he was apprenticed for five years to the hand-loom weaving, and it was while sitting at his loom that the greater part of his pieces were composed.
