'For a' that, an' a' that,

It's comin yet for a' that,

That man to man the world o'er

Shal brithers be for a' that.'

Robert Burns has used the rich vein of Scottish place-names to great effect in many of his works Flow Gently Sweet Afton,
The Bonnie Lass o' Ballochmlye. Ye Banks and Braes o Bonnie Doon. Such is the impact of his work, he has also
influenced place-names as testified by the transfer of the place-name Afton from New Cumnock to the New World, i.e.
Afton, Wyoming, Afton Oklahoma, Afton Minnesota, Afton, Iowa, Afton New York and Afton Canyon, California
