Laurence Hutton
Author, Essayist, Critic, compiled by John Henderson


Attached is a .pdf (tidied-up) of ‘Literary Landmarks Of Edinburgh’ – published in NY in1891  …. by Laurence Hutton (1843,NY-1904,NY) son of John Hutton born in Scotland in 1808 who emigrated to USA before 1843. It is a super wee book …. well written and illustrated, by a man who was a legend in his lifetime, and who is still revered in antiquarian circles today.

I was so intrigued by yet another with rich Scots blood in his veins ….[ his maternal grandfather was also a Scot ]…… doing our country proud, that I spent the afternoon researching him, as you will see from the load of attachments.

He even has a sketch in the book that has special significance for me …. Smollett’s House in St John Street, which is clearly recognisable as what became our ‘Staff House’ at Moray House College of Education, for staff socialising/dining etc., …… before, and all during the 20 years that I was a lecturer there 1974-1994.
