Excerpt from A Pilgrimage to the Land of Burns: And Poems The portrait which faces the title page is from a photograph taken while Ainslie was staying with the late Mr. Stephen Wellstood at Bonnybridge, some thirty years ago. The other portrait, which appears in the body of the volume, formed the frontispiece of the New York edition of the Poems and the profiles of the three pilgrims are engraved from a photo-copy of a minia ture, received from Mrs. Johns.

One of these is particularly interesting, as show ing Mauchline Old Kirk of the time of Burns, with Gavin Hamilton's house and Mauchline Castle.
