Notes for JAMES "DICK" FINDLAY:
It is reported that Dick, a fun-loving, n'er-do-well and life-long bachelor, was remembered for his legendary antics. Though he was said to be a harmless and endearing soul, he also had a way of getting himself into all kinds of trouble. Robert Bryson, a friend and perhaps occasional partner in crime, penned poems in pure Scottish style which memorialize some of Dick's adventures.
