Hi Maisie Not sure what you mean by a duplicate link? But perhaps you misunderstood, the link I posted was for a free *online* course, open to all, you do not need to be resident in the UK I have done some other courses and would recommend them, no pressure, you can do them at any time and place The only cost would be a certificate if you wanted one but its not necessary Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 16/12/2015 22:39, Maisie Egger via wrote: > A duplicate link from Nivard and more information re Robert Burns. > ‘Tis the season for Burns and how I wish I could take advantage of > the courses.

A duplicate link from Nivard and more information re Robert Burns. ‘Tis the season for Burns and how I wish I could take advantage of the courses. I could count on my pinky how many born and bred Scots there are in this San Luis Obispo county, California. The county masonic lodge put on a Burns Night last year and this. The first year was outstanding with the traditional meal of roasted stirk, neeps, mashed potatoes and haggis, followed by a delicious trifle. Unfortunately the orators missed the boat and I was just longing to hear Address to a Haggis presented in the braid Ayrshire dialect of Burns’s time. An American accent doesn’t cut it, though they got an A for trying. This to say that for such a small country, Scotland has made more than a wee dent on the world scene. Glasgow, at the height of industrialisation, was famous for its engineering, shipyards and locomotive building, and before that cotton, linen and wool production. Some streets in Glasgow have iconic names such as Shuttle Street, Weaver Street and Virginia Street (from association with the tobacco business in Virginia, USA, until the American Revolution impacted this trade, as well as cotton imports). Because of such industrialisation, Glasgow had a distinct skilled working class, some of whom in shipbuilding morphed into what was called Red Clydeside. Again, FYI street names in Glasgow, many of which are no longer being victims of the ‘Demolition Boys.’ http://www.glasgowhistory.co.uk/StreetNames.htm Maisie From: Beverley Thomson Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2015 5:55 AM To: campsiehills@sbcglobal.net Subject: Free Online Course - Robert Burns FREE ONLINE COURSE – The Centre for Robert Burns Studies at Glasgow University #FLRobertBurns Starting 25 Jan 2016. In celebration of Burns Night 2016, the Centre for Robert Burns Studies at the University of Glasgow, in partnership with Futurelearn, will be launching the first Massively Open Online Course (MOOC) on Robert Burns. The course ‘Robert Burns: Poems, Songs, and Legacy’ is free and open to all. We’re aiming to attract newcomers as well as long-time fans of the poet, including those with an interest in Scottish history and culture, or just poetry, literature and song in general. This course will introduce learners to the life, works, and posthumous reputation of Burns. Over the course of three weeks, learners will explore three core questions: Who was Robert Burns? What made Robert Burns a poetic genius? What made Burns a worldwide icon? In the process, learners engage with diverse materials including poems, songs, music and video, as well as original publications and manuscripts by Burns and objects made to commemorate the poet. Registration for the course is now open at https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/robert-burns/1 To view the extended trailer for the course, visit http://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/critical/research/researchcentresandnetworks/robertburnsstudies/courses/headline_432009_en.html.

No! Maisie It didn't matter who cooked the "clootie" - mother, aunties, or grannies ;-) The skin on them all simply made me boak!!!

Hi Folks I have hit my brick wall and ask you lovely people for help please. I have been tracing the tree yet again and have William Arbuckle married to Agnes Addie at Bathgate in 1784. They have 2 children that I know of the 1st is Alexander who is my direct descendant, the other is his brother John born about 1787. Does anyone have a marriage for a John Arbuckle to Alison Wilson please? I need to check if this is John of mine or someone elses. Many thanks Avril

Hi Anne When visiting Glasgow I've stayed in Milngavie, about 10km north of the town centre. It has good train links, taking about 19 minutes to get into Glasgow. It's also the starting point of the West Highland Way. I don't know of any B&Bs there, but you would probably find some online.

Bonnie, Google gives this link: http://adelaides.co.uk/ I checked this out and it is within walking distance of the centre of town. No room rates given on the link. It is in the general airt of the Mitchell library, and so very convenient if one is doing family research. Glasgow is a compact city. A bus ride can take you from the centre of town to many historic/scenic sights within 15 minutes, even if one were commuting from the suburbs which surround the city itself. If you are in good physical shape, one can easily walk from the centre of town 'up to' Glasgow Cathedral, for example. As yet, the city itself has not been overly built with shopping malls or in the outskirts, and so the centre of the town (up Buchie, doon Sauchie and alang Aggie --- Buchanan, Sauchiehall and Argyle Streets) offers wonderful shopping venues. Glasgow is a very interesting city and has much to offer...with the Mitchell a treasure when doing family genealogy.
