John Dunlop (writer)

John Dunlop (November 1755 – 4 September 1820) was a Scottish song-writer.
==Life==
Dunlop was the youngest son of provost Colin Dunlop of Carmyle in the parish of Old Monkland, Lanarkshire. He began his career as a merchant, and was lord provost of Glasgow in 1796. He lived at Rosebank, near Glasgow, a property which he planted and beautified. Early in the eighteenth century it came into the possession of Provost Murdoch, and through his daughter, Margaret, it fell to her son-in-law, John Dunlop. He was appointed collector of customs at Borrowstounness, whence he was afterwards moved to Port Glasgow. He died at Port Glasgow 4 September 1820, aged 65.〔 cites: ''Scots Magazine'', October 1820, page 383).〕
An active-minded man, he is described as "a merchant, a sportsman, a mayor, a collector, squire, captain and poet, politician and factor". His humour and social qualities made him sought after. He sang well and wrote songs, some of which show a graceful lyrical faculty and are still popular. ''Oh dinna ask me gin I lo'e ye'' is perhaps the best known, and with ''Here's to the year that's awa'' is often included in collections of Scottish poetry. These and two others by him are in the ''Modern Scottish Minstrel'' (1857, v. 77–81) of Dr. C. Rogers. Dunlop was also known as a writer of monumental and other inscriptions.
He was a leading member of the convivial Hodge Podge Club in Glasgow, for which some of his verses were composed.〔 cites: J. Strang, ''Glasgow and its Clubs'', 2nd edition 1857, pages 43–6, 50, 53.〕 In figure he was a "hogshead", but "as jolly a cask as ere loaded the ground". In 1818, he edited for a son of Sir James and Lady Frances Steuart some letters to them from Lady Mary W. Montagu, since reprinted by Lord Wharncliffe. He printed for private circulation a couple of volumes of his occasional pieces, and his son, John Colin Dunlop, the author of the ''History of Fiction'', edited a volume of his poems in 1836. According to the statement of the Rev. Charles Rogers, four volumes of poetry in manuscript are in existence.〔 cites: ''Notes and Queries'', 5th ser. iv. 435.〕
