Geikie had become desperately enamoured of the turned-up nose, rhinoceros upper lip, and pot-belly of a porter of the Grass-market, and longed to appropriate them in such a way as not to impoverish their lawful owner.

Geikie was an ardent admirer of Burns, and in many ways his drawings express the same popular empathy as the poetry of our national bard, although in his specifically urban themes he is perhaps closer to the poetry of Robert Fergusson.

Walter Geikie died in 1837 at the sadly early age of 42.

Walter Scott was a sceptic: he was Scotland's greatest man of letters, yet recognised that the past could not be contained in words.
