When Sir John Sinclair carried out his survey of Scotland's 938 parishes in the 1790s, he received many detailed descriptions from his respondents, but probably none expressed a universal truth more profoundly than the laconic minister of Penicuik, Thomas McCourty, who wrote, "The people are of various sizes. They are like those of other parishes, many of them good, and some of them bad."
