1 In the Memoir of John Geddie, Abbotsford Miscellany, p. 362, we find him speaking of this hardship, “My place being taken from me then (1674), as now it is, because I would not comply with the English and subscribe their oath, called The Tender; yet, considering the estate was old for many hundreds of years, the love I had to preserve that old inheritance, made us, under God, toil much and labour to recover the same, which, by the blessing of God, I did,” &c. He paid 15,000 merks to relieve the estate.
