John Clay, a Scottish Farmer (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from John Clay, a Scottish Farmer Dr. John Cairns was pupil teacher, a long, lank, shaggy haired son of the farm who won fame and distinction in pulpit and platform. The Berwickshire boys fol. Lowed Trotter to Musselburgh. The Herriots, the Allans and hosts of others received their education there. East Lothian also contributed, and James Hope, East Barns. Is still doing credit to the discipline and fore sight of his teacher. William Kirkwood, of Chicago fame, who still lives amid the old scenes, was at school with the above men, but most of them have gone and soon Trotter will be but a memory. The Dykegate~ head or Herriot Bank noddy, a springless carriage of ancient build, took them to Musselburgh. Probably then their school looked to them like a Dotheboys Hall, but in after years they always spoke of their stay at Trotter's with kindly feelings.
