 | | David Herd (1732-1810), the collector of the classic edition of Ancient and Modern Scottish Songs (1776), was sovereign of the Cape (in which he was known as "Sir Scrape") when Fergusson was dubbed a knight of the order, with the title of "Sir Precentor," in allusion to his fine voice. |
| | Alexander Runciman, the historical painter, his pupil Jacob More, and Sir Henry Raeburn were all members. |
| | After a meeting with John Brown of Haddington he became, however, very serious, and would read nothing but his Bible. |
