Will H. Ogilvie, Border Poet

As Chairman of the Will H Ogilvie Memorial Trust it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website.

Unassuming Will was arguably the finest poet the Borders has ever produced, Scott and Hogg included. Although greatly respected in Australia he didn’t get the plaudits he deserved from his own countrymen in his lifetime but his legacy lives on and will do for as long as his poetry wings its way down the generations to all who cherish in their hearts a love like his for the Scottish Borderland.

I hope through our website you will come to appreciate Will’s literary genius and derive from his poetry much enjoyment and pleasure.
