Odd figures among border ministers are described with colorful anecdotes. Revered Potts of Ettrick drinks and rides a wall with his wig as a prop. Patton, his successor, enjoys witnessing executions and faces a decaying manse. Dr. Douglas of Galashiels brews and lends money while serving as minister. Elder Russell sports paper curls that delay services. Dr Gillan’s hawkish sermon scenery earns a sharp quip amid a storm. Old Mungo Park’s tedious grace becomes fodder for family jest.
