‘A Faithless Truant to the Classic Page’: Sir Walter Scott, Greek, Greece and the Greeks
The ‘Roman Heads’ at the Netherbow in Edinburgh: A case of antiquarian wishful thinking in the 18th and 19th centuries
A sculptured stone panel built into the wall of a house at the Fountain Close near the Netherbow Port of Edinburgh was first noted by Sir John Clerk of Penicuik in 1726 and published by Alexander Gordon that same year. The tablet features two heads, male and female, in profile and facing each other across an inscribed panel bearing a biblical inscription in lettering of Gothic form. The slab is today in the National Museum of Scotland where it is…

Chyndonax to Galgacus: New Letters of William Stukeley to Alexander Gordon
Previously unpublished letters of William Stukeley (1687-1765) to Alexander Gordon (?1692-?1754) are printed with a commentary to commemorate the tercentenary of Stukeley's birth. The letters are important as being the only correspondence extant between Stukeley and Gordon, and because they sum up many aspects ofStukeley's personality and shed light on his early preoccupation with the Druids
Critick in Antiquity: Sir John Clerk of Penicuik
Some 300 years ago, in 1676, the year of Sir John Clerk's birth, Roger North, the biographer, visited Hadrian's Wall. He was disappointed with what he saw: 'it appeared only as a range or bank of stones all overgrown with grass, not unlike the bank of the Devil's Ditch at Newmarket, only without any hollow, and nothing near so big' (Birley, 1961, 9). In 1754, the year before Clerk died, William Stukeley had an audience of the Princess Dowager of …
Gothicism, ignorance and a bad taste: The destruction of Arthur's O'on
In the year 1725 William Stukeley entered into correspondence with the eminent Scottish antiquary, Sir John Clerk of Penicuik. 'It has been a frequent matter of wonder to me', wrote Stukeley in his first letter, 'that so many monuments of Antiquity as Scotland may justly boast of, should for ages past lye exposed to the sun, neglected and untouched, whilst every corner of Italy is ransacked and threadbare, we waste away immense sums of our treasu…
