[Footnote 6: Dr. Jamieson has a note on King David II.,
brother, in his edition, of Barbour's Bruce; but does not
quote the words of the charter so fully as they are here
given.--_The Bruce and Wallace_, 4to., Edin. 1820, vol. i. p.

_Scott, Nelson's Secretary._--Can any of your readers give me
information as to the pedigree and family of John Scott, Esq., public
secretary to Lord Nelson? He was killed at Trafalgar on board the
Victory; and dying while his sons were yet very young, his descendants
possess little knowledge on the subject to which I have alluded. He was,
I _think_, born at Fochabers, near Gordon Castle, where his mother is
known to have died.
