This stanza was suppressed in Burns'first editions, even though it was well known that Sodger Hugh found it'easier to do a thing than to talk about it '.
Most famous of all is " The Bonnie Lass o'Fyvie " ( Pretty Peggy-O ), covered by Simon and Garfunkel and many others . " The Forfar Sodger " relates to the Peninsular War ( 1808 1856 ) and was recorded as late as 1951.
The 12th Earl of Eglinton,'Sodger Hugh'was a third cousin of the 11th Earl, originally lived at Coilsfield House near Tarbolton, where Burns's'Highland Mary', probably Mary Campbell, had been a byre woman and possibly the mistress of the Earl's brother, Captain James Montgomerie of Coilsfield.
