Biography:

SHENNAN, Robert (fl 1831)

His preface, dated from Lairblaugh, Dumfriesshire, has all the information that is known about him: although he had limited education, he started writing verse when he was about eight; he wrote a long poem on the Dumfries Candlemas fair which was lost; and he contributed poems to the Dumfries newspapers. His book was published by subscription but there is no list. Genealogical sites turn up a range of alternative spellings for his surname.
