Alloway Kirk, Tam o Shanter, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Alloway Kirk, Tam o Shanter, 1844. The ruins of Alloway Auld Kirk, which dates back to the 16th century, near Alloway in Scotland. It is the scene of the witches dance in the poem " Tam o Shanter" by Robert Burns. " The auld haunted kirk", with its little enclosed burying-ground, directly skirts the road. The four walls unroofed, remain around the enclosure in which Tam saw " The dead in their last dresses", the winnock bunker in the east, " where sate the enemy" is a conspicuous feature, being a small window, divided by a thick mullion; marks of other openings may be detected, more of them being closed up, through which the hero obtained glimpses of the unhallowed rites performed by " witches and warlocks" as preliminaries to the dance. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of Alloway Kirk, a ruined church located near Alloway in Scotland. Dating back to the 16th century, this ancient site holds great significance as it is the setting for the witches' dance in Robert Burns' famous poem "Tam o Shanter". The image showcases the four walls of the unroofed kirk that surround an enclosed burying-ground. One can still see remnants of other openings, some closed up, through which Tam witnessed eerie unhallowed rites performed by witches and warlocks before their enchanting dance. The photograph, taken in 1844 and featured in Illustrated London News at that time, transports us back to a bygone era. Its monochromatic tones lend an air of mystery and nostalgia to this historical landmark. As we gaze upon this scene captured by an unknown creator from centuries past, we are reminded of Burns himself - Scotland's beloved ploughman poet whose verses continue to resonate with readers worldwide. Alloway Kirk stands as a testament not only to Scottish literature but also to its rich religious heritage. This image invites contemplation on themes such as death, spirituality, and Christian beliefs prevalent during that period. It serves as a window into both history and artistry while preserving the essence of this iconic location forever within its frame.
