Robert Burns

Jenny Geddes was Robert Burns horse.

The horse was named Jenny Geddes after an Edinburgh women who had famously defied James Hannay, Dean of Edinburgh by throwing a stool at his head. She was upset at the Anglican book of common prayer being used as opposed to Church of Scotland teachings. There was a widespread fear in Scotland of Roman Catholicism becoming the primary faith and Anglicanism was seen by many as a step towards it.

Due to her stool throwing, riots ensued inside the church and these scenes were replicated across Scotland over the next few days which eventually ended up with the signing of the National Covenant, meaning presbyterianism was to be teached inside Scotland's churches.

"The fower wunds" was given to my eight year old son by his teacher to learn for the burns day celebrations.

I don't believe for one minuite that it was written by Robert Burns, First I cant find any mention of him having written it, second, It mentions "grannies" and from the context I take it to be referring to the grannies that you fit to the top of a chimney as a kind of windmill to disperse the smoke ( very popular in Scotland up to the introduction of smokeless coal but not invented in Burns' time) and thirdly, its not a very good poem. I'm no expert but it just feels too rough and unfinished to be written by the bard.

As for who did write it... an internet search turned up the name S.T. Ross but it was a very tenuous connection.

Im sorry that I couldn't find the meaning of "barnies be quid" either and to be honest that makes me wonder about this poem too, Im sure if it was written by burns then this phrase would be better known.

This phrase, originating from a line in Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse," means that even the most carefully made plans can go wrong or be disrupted by unforeseen circumstances. It highlights the unpredictability of life and the limitations of human control over outcomes. The phrase suggests that despite our efforts to plan and prepare, external factors can still lead to unexpected results.

Willy's been off fighting as a soldier in foreign parts, but peace is declared & he's able to return home - with a clear conscience because he's not committed any of the sins that soldiers sometimes do. He arrives back at the place of his childhood, his head filled with sweet memories - not least of his sweetheart left behind. He spies his Nancy, and tells her, in a disguised voice, that he's a poor soldier with a long way to get home and asks if she would provide lodgings. She, not recognising him, agrees for the sake of the soldier she once loved. Suddenly she realises who he is and they fall into each others arms. He tells her that they might be poor in material terms but they have love and they'll never be separated again. She tells him that her grandfather has left her money and a well stocked farm and he's wecome to share them. The song ends with a reminder to us all not to look down on soldiers, because when the chips are down and the country faces danger it relies on those same soldiers for protection. [Maybe something to think about as present day servicemen return from foreign wars]

The concept of the atom was developed over time by various ancient philosophers and scientists, including Democritus and John Dalton. They proposed that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. This idea was further refined through experiments and observations in the field of chemistry.

Robert Burns wrote "Tam o' Shanter" in 1790. It is one of his most famous poems and was inspired by local folklore and legends.

A steam burn is generally more severe than a water burn because steam carries more heat energy than water due to its high temperature. Steam can cause more damage to the skin upon contact and penetrate deeper into the tissue, resulting in a more serious burn.
