Notes about John Syme

[4-1-08.FTW] Syme, John (1755-1831) Son of the Laird of Barncailzie, Kirkcudbrightshire, and, like his father, a Writer to the Signet, young Syme spent some years in the Army , as an ensign in the 72nd Regiment. He then retired to his father's estate, where he experimented with farming improvements. But his father lost heavily as a result of the Ayr Bank failure, and Syme was no longe r able to live at Barncailzie. Appointed to the Sinecure of Collector of Stamps for the District, Syme moved to Dumfries in 1791. His office was on the ground floor of a house in what is now Bank Street. When Burns, a few months later, moved from Ellisland to the Wee, or Stinking, Vennel h e became a tenant of Captain John Hamilton, on the floor above Syme's office. Syme, a few years older than Burns, found Dumfries society dull, and welcomed in the poet a kindred convivial spirit. Burns was a frequent guest at Syme's villa, Ryedale, on the west side of the Nith. O f Syme as a host, Burns wrote, in an impromptu verse: "Who is proof to thy personal converse and wit, Is proof to all other temptation." In the summer of 1794, Syme accompanied Burns on a tour through Gallowa y. The poet, smarting from the restrictions on his Jacobin sympathies plac ed on him by the Commissioners of the Excise, apparently raged against the rich at the mere sight of a mansion. According to Syme's remembered recollection of the trip, they rode to Kenmure the first day, then on t o Gatehouse-of-Fleet, Kirkcudbright and St Mary's Isle, where they were happily entertained by Lord Selkirk. Again, according to Syme: 'The poe t was delighted with his company, and acquitted himself to admiration...' Syme visited Burns at Brow on 15th July 1796, and again a few days late r, when Burns had returned to Dumfries. He was horrified at the poet's deteriorated condition. After Burns's death, Syme, with Dr Maxwell, organised the funeral, and, with Alexander Cunningham, worked unsparingly raising money to help the poet's widow and children. He was one of those who urged Dr Currie to undertake his edition of Burns's work, and along with Gilbert Burns spe nt three weeks staying with Currie at his Liverpool home. Syme left some highly-coloured, though valuable, reminiscences of Burns . His correspondence with Cunningham came to light a few years ago. Of Burns's features, Syme wrote: 'The poet's expression varied perpetually, according to the idea that predominated in his mind: and i t was beautiful to mark how well the play of his lips indicated the sentiment he was about to utter. His eyes and lips, the first remarkabl e for fire, and the second for flexibility, formed at all times an index t o his mind, and as sunshine or shade predominated, you might have told, a priori, whether the company was to be favoured with a scintillation of wit, or a sentiment of benevolence, or a burst of fiery indignation.... I cordially concur with what Sir Walter Scott says of the poet's eyes. In his animated moments, and particularly when his anger was aroused by instances of tergiversation, meanness, or tyranny, they were actually like coals of living fire.' Syme, John (1755-1831) Son of the Laird of Barncailzie, Kirkcudbrightshire, and, like his father, a Writer to the Signet, young Syme spent some years in the Army , as an ensign in the 72nd Regiment.

Son of the Laird of Barncailzie, Kirkcudbrightshire and like his father, a Writer to the Signet, young Syme spent some years in the Army, as an ensign in the 72nd regiment. He then retired to his father's estate, where he experimented with farming improvements.

Appointed to the Sinecure of Collector of Stamps for the District, Syme moved to Dumfries in 1791. His office was on the ground floor of a house, which is now Bank Street. When Robert Burns, a few months later, moved from his farm at Ellisland to the Wee or Stinking Vennel, he became a tenant of Capt. John Hamilton, on the floor above Syme's office (Syme was his superior in the Customs and Excise). Syme, a few years older than Burns, found Dumfries society dull and welcomed in the poet, a convivial kindred spirit. Burns was a frequent guest a Syme's villa Ryedale, on the West side of the Nith. Of Syme as a host Burns wrote, in an impromptu verse: "Who is proof to thy personal converse and wit, Is proof to all other temptation." In the summer of 1794, Syme accompanied Burns on a tour through Galloway. The poet, smarting from the restrictions on his Jacobin sympathies, by the Commissioners of the Excise, apparently raged against the rich at the mere sight of a mansion. According to Syme's remembered recollection of the trip, they rode to Kenmure the first day, then on to Gatehouse-of-Fleet, Kirkcudbright and St Mary's Isle, where they were happily entertained by Lord Selkirk. Again according to Syme: "The poet was delighted with is company and acquitted himself to admiration….." It was on this tour that Burns wrote "Scots Wha Hae" and a Thomas Fraser, bandsman, was involved with the tune. Syme visited Burns at Brow on 15th July 1796, and again a few days later, when Burns had returned to Dumfries. He was horrified at the poet's deteriorated condition. After Burn's death, Syme, with Dr Maxwell organized the funeral, and, with Alexander Cunningham, worked unsparingly raising money to help the poet's widow and children and was the first to push for a Mausoleum to be built to hold the remains of the world's greatest poet. He was one of those who urged Dr Currie to undertake his edition of Burns's work, and along with Gilbert Burns spent three weeks staying with Currie at his Liverpool home. Syme left some highly-coloured, though valuable, reminiscences of Burns. His correspondence with Cunningham came to light a few years ago. Of Burns's features, Syme wrote: "The poet's expression varied perpetually, according to the idea that predominated in his mind: and it was beautiful to mark how well the play of his lips indicated the sentiment he was about to utter.
