		Tannahill was entering the heart of a Scottish political debate although he has not previously been described as a political poet in any sense at all.

		In striking contrast with the songs of Boswell are the love lyrics of the Paisley weaver and chief of many Paisley poets, Robert Tannahill, who published a volume of Poems and Songs in 1817.
		The rather monotonous amorousness of Tannahill’s songs is relieved by the felicity of his references to nature: he conveys the impression that he is quite as much enamoured by nature’s charms, as by those of the imaginary sweethearts he elects to bear him company in his saunterings.
		The truth is that, having been at an early period of life disappointed in a very serious love affair, he was, henceforth, a lover merely in a poetical or a reminiscent sense.
