Dalgarnock
Referred to in the song 'Last May a braw Wooer'. The temporarily wooer complains that, having put off her man, he thereupon wooed her 'black cousin Bess', and: "But a' the neist week, as I petted wi' care,
I gaed to the tryst o' Dalgarnock,
And wha but my fine fickle lover was there?"
Set to the tune 'The Lothian Lassie' Burns modelled his original song on an older poem of the same name it appeared first in Thomson's Scottish Airs, 1799 and had an immediate success. According to Burns Dalgarnock was 'a romantic spot near the Nith, where are still a ruined church and a burial ground.'
