On March 4th 1756, the artist Sir Henry Raeburn was born in Edinburgh.

Raeburn lost his father, a mill owner, at an early age, was raised by an older brother, and educated at Heriot's Hospital. In 1772 he was apprenticed to the jeweller James Gilliland but began painting water-colour miniatures of his friends. He soon attracted the attention of the city's leading portraitist, David Martin. With guidance from Martin, Raeburn turned to painting in oil and began to develop his personal style. In 1778, he married a wealthy widow of independent means, whose dowry permitted him to devote himself entirely to painting. Through the marriage, he also acquired the Deanhaugh Estate in Stockbridge.

  He was later to purchase the neighbouring St. Bernard's estate and to amass a considerable fortune by feuing both for building the Stockbridge extension of Edinburgh's New Town. In 1784 he travelled to London where he met Sir Joshua Reynolds whose style was to exert a great influence upon him. On Reynolds's advice, he spent the following two years studying in Italy.

  Raeburn returned to Edinburgh in 1787, set up a studio in George Street, and rapidly established himself as the leading portraitist of Edinburgh society. He was to paint many of the most prominent Scots of the days, gradually developing from bust-sized figures to full length portraits. His reputation spread beyond Edinburgh and he became a member of the Royal Academy in 1815.

His most famous work is often said to be The Skating Minister, Robert Walker on Duddingston Loch, but I disagree, his painting of Sir Walter Scott is used so often surely it is more recognizable?  My own personal favourite is of the celebrated fiddle player Neil Gow.

I have however tried to mix it up a little from previous posts, the first pic is a self portrait, the next is Alexander Ranaldson MacDonell of Glengarry, often just called Glengarry, he adopted, or invented, depending on the source, the Glengarry hat, an early version of which he is wearing in the pic. And finally Alexander, a well liked teacher and Rector at the Royal High School in Edinburgh, his family were tenant farmers in Morayshire, and he walked 150 miles from there to Edinburgh, aged seventeen, to attend logic classes at the university. His pupils included Sir Walter Scott, the critic Lord Francis Jeffery, Lord Chancellor Henry Brougham, the latter two are very well known to Edinburgh folk like myself. 

In around 1805, fourteen former pupils commissioned Raeburn to paint Adam’s portrait, which they presented to the High School. When he died, his obituary referred to this portrait, stating that Raeburn had painted “an excellent likeness of the worthy rector, who is represented in the act of teaching his pupils”. I like this painting as he has a very genial face, the smile says it all.

Sir Henry Raeburn died in St Bernard's House, Stockbridge Edinburgh and is buried at St Cuthbert's graveyard at the West End of Princes Street Gardens, there is also a monument "next door" in St Johns.

Lord Adam Grey has gained and lost a lot in only one year: he lost a brother and became the sole heir of a dukedom, finally finding his calling amongst the fields of barley and wheat. When Benjamin, his older brother, returns to England with a wife and an heir of his own, Adam is left with nothing. Again.

Lonely and lost, Adam is summoned to Ellesmere Park, for the Christmas party and birth of William and Margareth Ransom first born child. There, he hopes to forget his sorrows and find strength to carry on with his life.

What he was not expecting was to find Lady Eleanor MacDonell, a rebel Scottish girl, who left with no traces from the grasp of the old and evil Gordon Wallace, chief of the Wallace clan, who believes the girls blood to be magical and a portal to the other world.

Will Adam find the happiness he craves with Eleanor, giving her the love she never had?

It's 3:51 p.m., and chef Ashley MacNeil is busy planning how to run out of food. Sunday brunch service has ended at Toronto's Farmhouse Tavern, and she has already cubed and deep-fried the morning's excess biscuits into croutons to adorn tonight's house salad. Now she's fretting over an excess of shaved Brussels sprouts, which isn't something she wants to freeze. She sighs and hopes it'll be a big salad night.

In a black wool hat and maroon T-shirt, MacNeil eyes the shimmering skin-on fillets of trout. Fourteen will be enough for tonight's Fish Dish entree, she decides, and she asks one of her cooks to double wrap and freeze six, which she'll later cure into gravlax. "You want to run out, but you want to make sure that you have enough of a selection so people come back," says MacNeil, 34. "It's a weird teeter-totter game."

That game begins around 5 p.m., as the horseshoe-shaped restaurant begins to fill with diners ordering "buck a shuck," or 1 Canadian dollar ($0.74) oysters. The promotion is just one of eight hourly food and drink discounts designed to attract and retain customers on Sunday evenings. The goal is to sell out of perishable food and open bottles of wine so that Farmhouse can shut up shop with an empty refrigerator for the three consecutive days, when it is closed. Oh, and this weekly event is called F*** Mondays.

Come again? The strong language stems from owner Darcy MacDonell's lifelong dread of the coming workweek and how, in the restaurant business, quiet Sundays lead to either throwing away food or freezing it. Because he is adamant that "freshness is omnipotent," refrigerating unserved items and corking wine bottles are not options.

That philosophy led MacDonell to create Farmhouse's compelling offer: Come thumb your nose at Monday by enjoying an affordable evening that'll help us finish our food and drink.

Toronto Restaurant Fights Waste By Chopping Menu Prices Till Food Is Gone
