LORNA MOON BORN STRICHEN 1886, DIED NEW MEXICO 1930 BY KAY CLIVE Lorna Moon, she liked the ring of it, transformed from Nora Helen Wilson Low. Names need to have a resonance, a fit and this could take her where she yearned to go. “Shameless”, they called her in the staid wee town, between the Buchan farmland and the sea, writing about the folk she’d always known probing pretence, revealing oddity. The library refused to stock her book - the quine whose scripts had dazzled Hollywood was shunned in Strichen. They could not overlook that searing light that showed more than it should. She planned a journey home when gravely ill, her ashes in a “trochie”, back to Mormond Hill.

Theory of the Earth Edwin Morgan James Hutton that true son of fire who said to Burns 'Aye, man, the rocks melt wi the sun' was sure the age of reason's time was done: what but imagination could have read granite boulders back to their molten roots? And how far back was back, and how far on would basalt still be basalt, iron iron? Would second seas re-drown the fossil brutes? 'We find no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end.' They died almost together, poet and geologist, and lie in wait for hilltop buoys to ring, or aw the seas gang dry and Scotland's coast dissolve in crinkled sand and pungent mist.

Portrait of Robert Bontine Cunningham Graham, Sir John Lavery. Oil on canvas, 1893. Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. A full-length portrait of a man with dark curly hair, curled moustaches, and a pointed beard. He is dressed in brown, with a long overcoat and shiny knee-high leather riding boots. A reddish-pink scarf, loosely tied around his neck, provides a splash of colour. He holds a cane in his right hand, with his left held behind his back.

He is, I regret to add, an impenitent and unashamed dandy: such boots, such a hat, would have dazzled D’Orsay himself. With that hat he once saluted me in Regent St. when I was walking with my mother. Her interest was instantly kindled; and the following conversation ensued. ‘Who is that?’ ‘Cunninghame Graham.” ‘Nonsense! Cunninghame Graham is one of your Socialists: that man is a gentleman.” This is the punishment of vanity

"'Don Roberto': Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham on Pampa", signed, inscribed and dated 'J Lavery/1901/To R.B. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM ESQR.' (lower right), oil on canvas. Painted against an unresolved buff-coloured background with a wavering, distant horizon, a bearded man, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a colourful yellow poncho with red and blue details, sits confidently astride a lean black horse. Tall, dry yellow grasses are sketched around the horse's legs.
