073 | A square pillar, 50 feet high erected by public subscription to the memory of Robert Nicoll, Poet, and native of the parish of Auchtergaven, On the pedestal of the pillar is the following inscription. Robert Nicoll Born 1814. Died 1837. I have written my heart in my poems. "Robert Nicoll - This was a young man of great promise cut off in the bloom of life. He was born in the parish in 1814, where his grandfather, father, and mother, and other relations still reside. He was educated at the parochial school under the present teacher; and his first outset in life was in a grocer's shop in Perth. But the bent of his mind being towards literature, he opened a circulating library in Dundee, and distinguished himself as a political writer of the liberal school, and as the author of a volume of poems, chiefly in the Scottish dialect, and descriptive of Scottish manners. The title of one of his songs is "The Fouk o' Ouchergaen". When seized with his last illness, he had the management of a newspaper in Leeds, which in a short time he brought into extensive circulation. He died at Newhaven, near Edinburgh in December 1837. His poetry shows observations, pathos, and right feeling." New Statistical Acct [Account] |
