A famous figure in Scottish history and literature, immortalised in The Lady of the Log and The Ride of Lammermuir.
In the days when Sir Walter Scott was a mere tingle in his father's sperm-sack and Robert Louis Stevenson's grandparents had yet to put their loins together, Betty the Box was already a familiar sight on the streets of old Edinburgh; or in the ingle-neuk in Deacon Brodie's tavern, where she was wont to sit of an evening, warming-up her capacious container for her customers.

Was Scotland's Elizabeth Knox,
The fame of whose sporran
Had spread to parts foreign,
Delighting all owners of cocks.
