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
