[edit] Sheep Heid Inn
=A reference to a "Sheip's Heid" appears in the Percy Folio MS., dating from about 1560, satirizing the Church sacraments :-
"John Anderson, my jo, cum in as ye gae by, And ye sall get a sheip's heid weel baken in a pye- Weel baken in a pye, and a haggis in a pat; John Anderson, my jo, cum in and ye'se get that."
Robert Burns visited the Sheep Heid Inn much later, and has his own song "John Anderson". EnLicht (talk) 14:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
