Burns at Galston and Ecclefechan . laddie, an occupation suited to his tender other two were employed by neighbouring farmers, and all ofthem turned out useful and respected members of society, in which 20 Burns at Galston. some of their descendants have made a most respectable Davock, who was never married, died at Galston, in thehouse of his brother Robert, a local Radical of note, as were manyof the Galstonians in the early decades of the present political opinions led to his voluntary expatriation, andhe died in America. Wee Davock had a pot—a commonstew-pot—which he got from Burns. This relic is now theproperty of a lady who values it very highly—a grand-daughter ofRobert Hutchieson, Davids eldest brother. It may be worthwhile noting here, that another form of the name of the familyprotected by Burns, is the appellation of his sole-survivingmale descendant, Robert Burns Hutchinson, only son of , daughter of Colonel James Glencairn Burns, thepoets third Mrs. Hutchinson, the interesting lady here referred to, presentedthe present writer with a tumbler, originally the property of ourNational Poet. As any relic of Burns, by whomsoever possessed,is of deep interest to admirers of the poet, I make no apologyfor presenting the reader with a detailed and illustrated Burns at Galston. 21 gathered together in
