Biography:
TARRAS, William (b 1781: ancestry.co.uk)
One of his poems, “Epistle to a Friend,” is dated Mar. 1803 from Strichen, Aberdeenshire, and gives his age as twenty-one. He was probably the William Tarras born in Strichen on 13 Sept. 1781 to John Tarras and his wife Anna Keith. One poem, to his bellows, indicates that he was probably a blacksmith. His poems are written in the Buchan or “Doric” Scots dialect and the book includes a glossary. (ancestry.co.uk 12 Dec. 2021) SR
