17,000 Articles from the Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th & 12th eds. Robert Paterson (1715–1801) Scottish stonemason, who suggested to Sir Walter Scott the character of “Old Morality,” born near Hawick in 1715. Through the patronage of Sir Thomas Kirkpatrick, whose cook he had married, he obtained the lease of a quarry at Gatelawbrig, but in 1745 his house was plundered by the retreating Jacobites, and Paterson himself, a pronounced Cameronian, was carried off a prisoner. He subsequently devoted his life to cutting and erecting stones for the graves of the Covenanters, for forty years wandering from place to place in the lowlands. He died in poverty in 1801, and a stone to to his memory was erected by Scott’s publishers in 1869 in Caerlaverock churchyard. © 2022 WEHD.com
