_Bonny Dundee--Graham of Claverhouse._--Can any of your correspondents
tell me the origin of the term "Bonny Dundee?" Does it refer to the fair
and flourishing town at the mouth of the Tay, or to the remarkable John
Graham of Claverhouse, who was created Viscount of Dundee, after the
landing of the Prince of Orange in England, and whose person is admitted
to have been eminently beautiful, whatever disputes may exist as to his
character and conduct?
2. Can reference be made to the date of his birth, or, in other words,
to his age when he was killed at Killycrankie, on the 27th of July,
1689. All the biographies which I have seem are silent upon the point.
