This
print was published in an 1797 edition of "The Antiquities of
Scotland by Francis Grose". Francis Grose (1731–1791) was an
antiquary and lexicographer, of Swiss extraction. He published
Antiquities of England and Wales (1773–87), which was well received,
and thereafter, in 1789, set out on an antiquarian tour through
Scotland, the fruit of which was Antiquity of Scotland (1789–91). He
afterwards undertook a similar expedition to Ireland, but died
suddenly at Dublin. |
