Autor

David Rorie, an often overlooked figure in the canon of Scottish literature, made notable contributions to the world of poetry and song with a strong emphasis on the Scots language. Born in 1867, Rorie's literary output was primarily influenced by his rural upbringing and his profession in medicine. He deftly combined his medical knowledge and his passion for literature in his most recognized work, 'The Auld Doctor and other Poems and Songs in Scots', a collection that showcased his command of local dialect and his keen observational skills. Rorie's literary style was marked by a unique blend of humor and pathos, often reflecting on the human condition and the idiosyncrasies of Scottish rural life. His work captured the rhythms and cadences of Scots, contributing to the preservation of the language and its oral traditions. Although he never reached the heights of fame as some of his contemporaries, Rorie's work remains a testament to his love for Scotland and its cultural heritage, offering a window into the life and times of early 20th-century Scotland. While Rorie's oeuvre may not be extensive, it remains a valuable part of Scotland's literary mosaic for its authentic portrayal of local dialect and rural community life.
