Glide sweet in mony a tunefu' line;

An' cock your crest,
We'll gar our streams an' burnies shine
Up wi' the best'

In his letter in verse to William Simpson, Burns gave expression to his poetic ambitions, among which he included that stated in the stanza above. He had noted how Forth and Tay had been sung by Ramsay and Ferguson and, in particular, that Yarrow and Tweed were known all over Scotland by virtue of the poetry written about them. But nobody sang about Irwin, Lugar, Ayr, and Doon. Tonight's programme will show how splendidly his ambition was realised.

Joe Corrie, who has written the programme, began life as a miner and first became known to the public as a poet. Laying down the pick for the pen, he gave himself to literature and is now one of the best known dramatists in Scotland.
