(Special Correspondence.) will search in vain for the first home of Sir Walter Scott the house in College Wynd, Edinburgh, where his little brothers and sisters ) perished In Infancy. That house, as far as I can trace it must have stood very close to the site of Kirk o Field, where Damley, the husband of Queen Mary, was murdered in 1567. But College Wynd does not seem to have existed at the time of the murder; it probably was built not long afterwards, on the gardens or waste lands of the Black Friars Monastery, or of the town house of the Duke of Hamilton. Shortly after Scotts birth his family moved to Georges Square, then new and fashionable, as, with its site near the meadows. It Is still comfortable and and comairy. Strong, square-buil- t, modious Is the dwelling; It was from the window of this house, perhaps, that Scotts father threw the teacup out of which Murray of Broughton, the betrayer of Prince Charles, had drunk. Certainly the boy, Walter, treasured saucer. the saucer, "Broughtons with his old ballads, skull and cross-bone- s and similar gabions (as he called them) In bis little study In George's Square. But, on reflection, think that the date of the legal dealings of the traitor Murray with Mr. Scott (I have seen the actual papers) was earlier in date than the move to Georges Square. The pavement of College Wynd, not of the square, must have rung to the fall of the historical teacup. Scott dwelt longer In no one place than in Georges Square, a place little altered, and worthy of a visit from the pilgrim. Scott was about three years old When he went to his kinsfolk at Sandy Xnowe. The view from the tower takes In Melrose, which he made Immortally famous, and Hume Castle, so renowned In Border wars. Here the child learned to read, studied Hardik-nutmade friends with sheep and shepherds, and took that romantic ply which made him the Border minstrel and historian. After his marriage Scott rented a bouse in South Castle Street Its Interior does not repay a pilgrimage, nor Is much to be said about the house In North Castle street, where he lived, when in Edinburgh, till 1826. In the summer, after his wedding, Scott at first rented a cottage at Lasswade, on the Esk, six miles from Edinburgh. At Lasswade Scott edited The Border Minstrelsy, and composed his own early ballads. In 1804 Scott rented Ashestlel on Tweed. Ashestlel, between Elibank and YILGRIMS I gh V' |
