John Pinkerton
![Cameo of John Pinkerton](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Cameo_of_John_Pinkerton.jpg)
He was born in Edinburgh, as one of three sons to James Pinkerton and Mary (nee Heron or Bowie) Pinkerton. He lived in the neighbourhood of that city for some of his earliest childhood years, but later moved to Lanark. His studious youth brought him extensive knowledge of the Classics, and it is known that in his childhood years he enjoyed translating Roman authors such as Livy. He moved on to Edinburgh University, and after graduating, remained in the city to take up an apprenticeship in Law. However, his scholarly inclinations led him to abandon the legal profession after he began writing ''Elegy on Craigmillar Castle'', first published in 1776. Provided by Wikipedia
