Примечания
Бернс писал: «Первая половина первого куплета – старинная, остальное – моё». Любимая песня Вальтера Скотта, которую тот часто пел на праздничных пиршествах с друзьями.


No. 263. Farewell to the Highlands. Scots Musical Museum, 1790, No. 2/0, signed ' Z.' Tune Faille na miosg. The MS. is in the British Museum. ' The first half stanza of this song is old ; the rest is mine': {Inter leaved Museum). ' Mr. Burns's old words.' (Law's MS. L ist.) C. Kirkpatrick Sharpe refers to the original as a broadside of seven stanzas and a chorus entitledThe strong walls of Derry. The ballad is a mixture of Scottish and Irish affairs of the eighteenth century, and the fifth stanza is the chorus of My heart V in the Highlands. The ballad was a favourite of Sir Walter Scott, who sometimes sung it to his- friends at convivial meetings. Nature had not endowed the great novelist with the gift of true intonation—he was what the Scots call ' timmer-tun'd'—so he very properly confined himself to vocal performances with his intimates only, and at the stage of the proceedings suggested in the following chorus of the ballad. 'There is many a word spoken, but few of the best, And he that speaks fairest, lives longest at rest; I speak by experience—my mind serves me so, But my heart's in the highlands wherever I go.
