This Waverley notebook celebrates the traditional Scottish song 'Auld Lang Syne' sung worldwide at New Year and weddings, and is bound in Auld Lang Syne tartan cloth, woven in the UK. With 92 pages, the mini notebook comes with a retractable pen, and a songbook with four Scottish songs. Parts of `Auld Lang Syne’ dates back to 1500 but Robert Burns contributed the song to the 1796 publication `Scots Musical Museum’.`Auld Lang Syne’ translates as `old long since’ and means `times gone by’. Thesong asks whether old friends and times will be forgotten, andpromises to remember people of the past with fondness: `Forauld lang syne, we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet.’ It is the most commonly sung song for English-speakers on New Year’s Eve, popularized by band leader Guy Lombardo in New York in the mid 1920s, who first heard it sung by immigrant Scots in London, Ontario, Canada. It is now a New Year tradition sung around the world.

This Waverley notebook celebrates 'Red Red Rose', the poem and song by Robert Burns, and is bound in Burns Check tartan cloth, woven in the UK. With 92 pages, the mini notebook comes with a retractable pen, and a song book with four Scottish songs (Auld Lang Syne; A Red Red Rose; Skye Boat Song; Flower of Scotland).“A Red, Red Rose” is a 1794 song by Robert Burns, based on traditional sources. The song is often published as a poem, and is one of the most famous verses to be associated with Burns. Towards the end of his life, Robert Burns worked to preserve traditional Scottish songs for the future, contributing to the Scots Musical Museum, and A Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs for the Voice. Burns gave the song to singer Pietro Urbani for it to be published in his Scots Songs, and referred to it as a “simple old Scots song which I had picked up in the country.”The lyrics describe a love that is both vital and enduring. The symbolism of rocks melting with the sun, and the seas running dry, evokes the passing of millions of years, and it has been suggested draws on concepts developed around this time – the time of the Scottish Enlightenment – by geologist James Hutton. In 2008, when asked for the source of his greatest creative inspiration, Bob Dylan, American singer songwriter, selected “A Red, Red Rose”, as the lyrics that had the biggest effect on his life. The song is unrelentingly popular.
