Betty The Box

What is Betty The Box?


1.

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.

Known widely as Betty the Box

Was Scotland's Elizabeth Knox,

The fame of whose sporran

Had spread to parts foreign,

Delighting all owners of cocks.
