Linning Stirling 1840’ the label is also noted “M.L.Melville Esq / This belongs to you / J. Linning / Stirling 8 th Sept. / 1853” and on an alter attached section “came to Mrs Janet Linning through her mother E. Wilson & aunts (Wilson) the Jacobite ladles: probably through their Haldane mother, grandmother or relation who were all ardent Jacobites”
