And we are back to Rabbie Burns. Burns very nearly went to work as an overseer on a plantation in Jamaica but the success of his first publication of collected poems provided him with a financial alternative glasgowmuseumsslavery.co.uk/2021/01/25/r...
Can’t really consider myself an historian but there’s a challenge. There is a book which covers the background to Rozelle House and Park – Burns and the Sugar Plantocracy of Ayrshire by Eric J Graham. (2009) Must find this..
Little published on Rozelle and its colonial past. Papers relating to the Hamiltons and their plantation exist but not online. A summary of the material notes- The Jamaican material in the Hamilton of Rozelle Papers has received little attention from historians.
Frederick Douglass was a big fan of Rabbie Burns, whose birthplace is just a short walk from Rozelle House…… Back home, I get on the internet and start noodling…. #RobertBurns#Rozelle#SouthAyrshire
There is very little reference to the history of the house other than a mural in a corridor related to the slave trade. This also features a portrait of Frederick Douglass a former American slave and anti- slavery campaigner. www.bulldozia.com/douglass-in-...
Rozelle park and house was owned by the Hamilton family who had owned a plantation ( and therefore slaves) in Jamaica called, Rozelle. The house and park are now owned by South Ayrshire Council. #Colonialism
