The banks of the River Doon in Ayrshire.
The banks of the River Doon in Ayrshire. Robert Burns’s song from 1791, recalling the unhappy case of Margaret ‘Peggy’ Kennedy (1766-95), abandoned by Andrew McDouall and left with his child, begins by invoking this verdant countryside.
Ye banks and braes o’ bonie Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair;
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae weary, fu’ o’ care!
