The sepulchre of William Fettes (1750-1836), Edinburgh merchant, Lord Provost and founder of Fettes College. Fettes traded in wine and tea from a shop that stood immediately downhill to the right of Paisley Close in the High Street. Like many of his successful contemporaries, his fortune was due, not least, to winning government army contracts during the Napoleonic Wars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Fettes Image
