Bibliographic References

Erroneously titled "Gordon Castle", this is actually George Heriot's School, Edinburgh. It's been copied by one of Alexander Hogg's engravers from the 17th century view by John Slezer. Slezer made a curious error by titling his print "Bogen-Gight" (the seat of the Duke of Gordon). Hogg perpetuated the error but updated the title to "Gordon Castle".
