157 UTEEART AND OTHEfi DISTINGUISHED PERSONS. Musselburgh may be considered classic land. It seems to have been a favourite resort of the literati not only of Edinburgh but elsewhere. The manse, in the days of Dr Carlisle, as we have already mentioned, was a hospitable retreat of the learned. At the west end of the High Street a house is still pointed out which figures in " Humphrey Clinker " as that in which Dr Smollett was received by Commissioner Cardonnell.* At the end of the wooden bridge,... on the Fisherrow side, and close to the river, stands the villa of Eskside, once the residence of Professor Stuart, father of Gilbert Stuart. About the beginning of the present century, when Sir Walter Scott was quarter-master of the Edinburgh Light Horse, Monk Lewis, a well-known novelist, resided in Fisherrow; and in our own times it has been rendered famous as the birth-place and residence of Dr Moir, the Delta of Blackwood, to. whose memory a full-length statue upon a pedestal has been erected by the inhabitants of Musselburgh, at the east end of the new bridge.
