Robert Burns plaque on Ferryden Pier, Angus
As part of the Robert Burns Trail in the Montrose area, a plaque has been fixed to the west-southwest facing wall of the public convenience on the pier. Under the heading of Ferryden Pier, the plaque reads:
‘After spending the night at the Turks Head Inn on the 12th Sept 1787, Robert Burns left Montrose with his travelling companion William Nicol, to continue his journey South to Auchmithie where they were to have breakfast.
At that time, there was no bridge over the South Esk river and it is believed that Burns took the ferry boat from Montrose over to Ferryden and he would have landed at the pier. The pier still exists today, similar to what it would have been back then. Although there is no longer a ferry boat the pier is still used by the local community.’
O’er the Water to Charlie – Robert Burns
Come boat me o’er, come row me oe’r,
Come boat me o’er to Charlie.
I’ll gie John Ross anither bawbee,
To boat me oe’r to Charlie.
