Description
Engraving of Francis Grose, seated, with a gold painted background. In a wooden frame.
Francis Grose (1731–91) was a retired army captain who became friends with Robert during his tour of Galloway. Grose agreed to include Alloway in his next book of antiquities, on the condition that Robert wrote a poem about its ruined kirk. Tam o’ Shanter was the result.
