Will Ogilvie was born at Holefield Farm near Kelso, Scotland in 1869.
His adventurous nature drew him to Australia when he was 20 where he spent twelve years in The Australian Outback. He became an accomplished stationhand, drover and horsebreaker. He displayed yet another of his talents making a name for himself as a writer of romantic verse of his adventures in the Outback.
Will returned to Scotland in 1901 and wrote stirring poems of the Borderlands. His writings reflected his love of the Borderlands and a deep insight into the lives and minds of the people who lived there during the times of the Border Reivers.
In his 94th year, in 1963, Will H Ogilvie died at his beloved home at Ashkirk. His ashes were scattered on the hillside on the road to Roberton.
In 1993, the Will H Ogilvie Memorial Committee erected a stone memorial on the spot.
The hill road to Roberton
Ale Water at our feet
and grey hills and blue hills
that melt away and meet
with cotton flowers that wave to us
and lone whaups that call
and over all the Border mist
the soft mist over all
let oil, nor steam, nor wings of dream deprive
of us our own
the wide world for a kingdom and the saddle
for a throne!
Congratulations to Border Bowmen on a FTF
