1822 | A Pilgrimage to the Land of Burns. An anonymously published travel diary detailing a tour of Scotland (Ayrshire) with elaborate descriptions of scenes and poetry inspired by the experience. The two friends Ainslie had traveled with took pseudonyms from Sir Walter Scott's
Antiquary. The book receives good reviews, but Scott finds it "wanting originality." It is published in the same year that Ainslie immigrated to the United States. He would become a member of the New Harmony colony and publish a collection of dialect poems, Scottish Songs, Ballads, and Poems (1855). |
