neiljeffares: By all means restore her poetry...but don't you think you should get her name right? Carolina Olphant was Lady Nairne, NOT Lady Carolina Nairne. I'm no longer confident that the BBC understand the difference

AnnieRoseex: Lady Carolina Nairne collected and composed ~100 songs incl ‘The Rowan Tree’, ‘Will ye no Come back again’ and ‘Land o the Leal’. Nairne often published work anonymously as it was considered improper for a Lady to be involved in “the queer trade of song-writing”
preciousmettles: If you look up the poem a lot of places will say it's by Robert Burns but it was actually written by Carolina Oliphant, Lady Nairne, supposedly as a gift for a friend who was mourning the loss of her child, or perhaps as an expression of homesickness.
JawsGerbil: Fun facts:
I was once a chef in the Lady Nairne. The pub is named after Carolina Nairne who was one of Scotlands greatest ever song writers.
Portobello Bar I can't find any historical facts on, but I'm sure the ancient patrons will have a few good tales If you pop in for a pint
IAMKP: The lyrics are by Carolina Oliphant, Lady Nairne (1766-1845), one of the most influential songwriters in Scottish musical history. She set it to a tune by Nathaniel Gow.
Her other hits include Will Ye No Come Back Again? and Land O’ The Leal.

Webwight: Woman of the day: Carolina Oliphant (1766–1845), Lady Nairne, Scottish songwriter whose songs, like “The land I’ the leal” and “Will ye no come back again?” are still popular today. Her authorship became known only after her death.
PerthshrWriters: 'Lady Carolina Nairne deserves recognition today, because not only did she help to preserve many Scottish tunes, but also, at a time when women’s talents were expected to be merely domestic, she managed to do her own thing.'

molach95: I met a great x? granddaughter of Carolina Oliphant (Lady Nairne). She was in her 30s, I think.
In speaking to her about her Jacobite ancestors that fought in the '45, she said at one point quietly "I keep calling it a rebellion now but it wasn't a rebellion, it was a Rising"

erskine0812: Not sure why Burns is on this as it has nothing to do with him. It was written by Carolina Lady Nairne, about the loss of an infant. And it is simply beautiful.

Ishmaelphineas: The world is God's, but occupied by the Enemy; we must be loyal to an absent King -- like the Jacobites:
molach95: The only book that actually seems to have included information about "Famous Scots" women was the book "The Balladists" which, among about 8 or more others, included info about Lady Carolina Nairne, Lady Elizabeth Wardlaw & Lady Anne Barnard. That's it.
FOWarristonCem: Now fare-ye-weel, my ain John,

In the land o' the leal.
