	Robert Burns Country: The Burns Encyclopedia: Ramsay, Allan (1686-1758)
		The poet's fanciful biographer, George Chalmers, claimed Ramsay's descent from the Ramsays of Cockpen, a younger branch of the Ramsays of Dalhousie; but Burns Martin, in his Allan Ramsay: A Study of his Life and Works, has shown this to be quite untrue.
		Ramsay's father died either just before the poet was born, or very soon after.
		Ramsay abandoned wigmaking for bookselling, setting up his shop in the High Street, 'on the South-side of the Cross-well', but moving about 1726 to the east end of the Luckenbooths, where he abandoned his old sign of the 'Mercury' in favour of 'Hawthornden's and Ben Johnson's [sic] Heads'.

	Broadside ballad entitled 'Satyr Upon Allan Ramsay'
		Allan Ramsay (1686-1758), poet, song-collector and Edinburgh wig-maker, is today recognised (with Robert Fergusson and Robert Burns) as one of the great vernacular Scots poets of the eighteenth century, and as a vital figure in the revival of Scots poetry after the Reformation of 1560.

	Scottish Background
		Though it remains the common speech of many Scots, from the sixteenth century onwards it began to be replaced by English in government, religion, education and literature.
		In the eighteenth century, however, its use in verse was revived (by Ramsay, Fergusson and Burns), and again in the 1920s (by Hugh MacDiarmid), and recently the literary use of urban Scots has become significant (Leonard, Kelman, Welsh).
		For this reason Allan Ramsay (1686-1758) was right to see himself as reviving Scottish poetry when he published collections of old Scottish verse, to which he added his own poems in Scots, in the 1720s.
