Crawford, Robert

    0.06 sec.

Crawford, Robert (c. 1695-1733)

Scottish poet. He is chiefly remembered for his songs, such as ‘Tweedside’, ‘The Bush aboon Traquair’, and ‘The Broom of Cowdenknowes’, many of which were published in the Orpheus Caledonius (1725), a volume of Scottish songs collected by William Thomson.

Crawford contributed lyrics to Allan Ramsay's Tea-Table Miscellany, mostly in Augustan style, and his work was praised by Robert Burns.
