Oyez, Oyez!

All Xmarkers interested in the life & works of Robert Burns are invited to join the Xmarks "Drouthy Cronies"! This social group takes its name from Souter Johnnie, Tam O'Shanter's "ancient, trusty drouthy cronie".

Agreed. A wee bit of an 'extension' of the Auld Crabbits I suppose, however, it is my understanding that The Drouthy Cronies have existed long prior to the XMTS formation of the Auld Crabbits.

I'm looking forward to lively discussions indeed!
