Her work is often mistaken for that of Robert Burns, but Lady Carolina Nairne wrote some of the most famous Scottish folk songs.
Many of her songs - such as Will Ye' No Come Back Again and Charlie is My Darlin - express the hope and sadness of the Jacobite cause.She came across a version of a song, The Pleughman, at a country fair.
The song, performed by her brother, was an instant hit across the county and she went on to write - and clean up - numerous songs.Carolina left Perth for Edinburgh when she married her second cousin, Maj William Nairne, becoming a baroness. Was she concerned about embarrassing her husband in an era when women weren't expected to have any significant interests outside the home?Freeland Barbour, music producer and distant relative, has written a recent biography of Lady Nairne
Over the past two centuries, while Burns' music and poetry has gained international recognition, Lady Nairne's accomplishments have slowly slipped from view.There's no tourist trail or museum dedicated to Lady Nairne as there are to Robert Burns, and she doesn't share his raucous, colourful reputation, says Matthew Warwick.
