Poetry Web Links

  1. The Poetry Scotland web site, from diehard publishers, Callander, Scotland, provides space for opinion, a complete Index to the contents, a Language/Dialect Map, Poets' Portraits and information on how to submit poems to the broadsheet. There is a Newsboard containing letters and poems. The site offers advice on how to write and submit to magazines with fun Competitions and an Editorial.
     
  2. This web link will take you to a collection of the works of William McGonagall where you will find all his poems, all the biographies, and more besides.
     
  3. Here is a gem of a web site created by Lex Harrison, with a superb selection of original Poems in the Scots dialect written by Alexander Orr, 1882. A visit is highly recommended - you will not be disappointed!
     
  4. This web link will take you to the Scottish Poetry Library which is a very useful resource for poems, poets and poetry events in Scotland.
     
  5. This book, "Oot The Windae", written by David Reilly, about memories of a childhood in the East End of Glasgow, contains some very funny stories and a few wee tear-jerkers describing his own observations and experiences.

    It also has some vivid photographic treasures of Glasgow characters, events and landmarks which evoke an accurate sense of the real atmosphere of Glasgow in a bygone era.

    The photographs include:-

    • St Enoch Square
    • Tobago Street Police Station
    • Dennistoun Palais
    • Shettleston Odeon
    • Parkhead Cross

    The book has been cleverly featured on David's web site www.ootthewindae.net in the form of a trip on a tramcar taking you on a nostalgic journey through the streets of Glasgow. Here is an excerpt:-

    Allow me to take you into my past
    back to my childhood that happened so fast
    and to help us on this journey in time
    we'll climb aboard my tramcar of rhyme
    ('The Tramcar of Rhyme' by David Reilly)

  6. This website, The Lordship & Barony of Kilmarnock , presents an area of Ayrshire, Scotland, which has an incomparable history.

    The site portrays the lives led by some of Scotland's great heroes and heroines, saints and sinners - Lords Kilmarnock, William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots and Robert Burns - in the history of that feudal Lordship & Barony.

  7. Visit the 'Gateway to Scotland's National Collection of Burns Treasures . . . . . . .'
