This polished wooden fragment is made from the wood of Robert Burns' 'Trysting Thorn' (romantic meeting place). It bears a transfer print quoting a Burns poem:
MADE OF WOOD FROM / BURNS' TRYSTING THORN, / MILL MANNOCH, NEAR COYLTON. / "At length I reached the bonnie glen / Where early life I sported; / I pass'd the mill and trysting thorn, / Where Nancy aft I courted."
