Silicon Glen, Scotland Scottish FAQ Scottish History Thomas Muir An article on the Scottish Political Reformist Thomas Muir. He was transported to Australia for 14 years for attempting to change the political system in Britain, and was involved in political reform in the US, France and Ireland. Thomas Muir is the subject of a song by Adam McNaughton, sung often by Dick Gaughan. Article sent by Charles McGregor mailto: chic.m@zetnet.co.uk Source: Steel's "Scotland's Story". A very good, if succinct history of Scotland and which featured as a TV series about 10 years ago. The first Convention of the Scottish Friends of the People opened in Edinburgh on 11 December 1792. Over 150 delegates representing 150 societies from 35 towns and villages attended. Their aim was to draw up a petition to send to the British Parliament in support of electoral reform. Thomas Muir, a Glasgow barrister with a reputation as a man of principle, had helped organise many of the societies. He had also, before the Convention, been in contact with the United Irishmen movement, a group of professional men in Dublin also bent on political reform. Against the advice of his colleagues, Muir read an address the United Irishmen had sent which urged the Edinburgh Convention to 'openly, actively and urgently' will Parliamentary reform. On the last day of the Convention, a Petition to Parliament was read and approved; but it was suggested that the Convention arm itself so as to be able to help magistrates put down riots that might occur in support of reform. An emotional evening session ended with delegates swearing the French oath, 'To live free or die'. The government at Westminster misread the situation. The Home Office files bulged with reports from spies. As informers were paid piece-rate many had put down gossip as fact, and rumour spread that the delegates were preparing themselves for insurrection. The government panicked and on 2 January 1793 arrested Muir. His trial opened in Edinburgh on 30 August 1793. He was accused of making seditious speeches, of circulating Paine's Rights of Man and of defending as well as reading the Address from the United Irishmen. Muir turned down an offer made by Henry Erskine, the Dean of the Faculty of Advocates, to defend him and conducted his own defence:

My name is Thomas Muir as a lawyer i was trained (Remember Thomas Muir of Huntershill) But you've branded me an outlaw, for sedition I'm arraigned (Remember Thomas Muir of Huntershill) But I never preached sedition in any shape or form And against the constitution I have never raised a storm It's the scoundrels who've corrupted it that I want to reform (Remember Thomas Muir of Huntershill) M'lord, you found me guilty before the trial began And the jury that you've picked are Tory placemen to a man Yet here I stand for judgement unafraid what may befall Though your spies were in my parish Kirk and in my father's hall Not one of them can testify I ever broke a law Yes, I spoke to Paisley weavers and addressed the city's youth For neither age nor class should be a barrier to the truth M'lord, you may chastise them with your vitriolic tongue You say that books are dangerous to those I moved among But the future of our land is with the workers and the young Members of the jury, it's not me who's being tried

Jack Campin's notes on Thomas Muir (The following is the substance of a post to the newsgroup uk.music.folk in Feb 1999 by Jack Campin and is reproduced here with his permission and assistance.) Thomas Muir was a Scottish advocate who joined with a number of other radicals (mostly elite intellectuals, but a fair number of artisans too) in the Scottish branch of an organization called the Friends of the People. This was one of several overlapping British groups in the early 1790s that worked for the new democratic and republican ideas of Thomas Paine and the French Revolution. The movement had a huge initial boost in Scotland in a riot of 1792 directed at the de facto dictator of Scotland, Henry Dundas. Much of the propaganda leading to this riot was written by James Tytler, a polymath who had been the first man in Britain to fly in a balloon, had written most of an edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and had contributed songs to Burns and Johnson's Scots Musical Museum . His polemics of 1792 were pretty darn fierce even by present-day standards; not only did he advocate abolishing the aristocracy and refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of Parliament, his faction also supported the nascent Irish resistance movement, the United Irishmen, that was working towards the insurrection of 1798. He was charged with sedition. Sensibly, he fled the country, but meanwhile Muir agreed to defend him, and was charged with sedition himself in 1793. Muir visited France to argue against the excution of Louis XVI while this charge was pending and, on his way back via Dublin, joined the United Irishmen himself. He was arrested on his arrival at Stranraer, and carried to Edinburgh in irons. Burns was at Gatehouse-of-Fleet as the convoy went past and wrote

Gazetteer for Scotland Help ... Add Comment Thomas Muir Radical reformer. Born in Glasgow, the son of a merchant, Muir was educated at the Glasgow Grammar School and entered the University of Glasgow aged only ten. However, he became involved in a dispute with the Principal which resulted in his expulsion in 1783. He completed his legal education at the University of Edinburgh. Inspired by the French Revolution (1789), Muir became a critic of the system, believing the law was biased in favour of the rich. He defended poor clients free-of-charge and advocated legal and parliamentary reform. The government were worried by his activities and, fearful of revolution at home, arrested Muir and charged him with sedition. He was tried in Edinburgh by 'hanging judge' Lord Braxfield (1722-99) with a carefully selected jury. Unsurprisingly he was found guilty and harshly sentenced to be transported to Australia for 14 years. Muir escaped after two years and returned to France where he died and lies buried. He and his fellow radicals are remembered by a large monument constructed in 1844 by the architect Thomas Hamilton (1784 - 1858) in Old Calton Burial ground (Edinburgh).

The man to the dog's left was hiking the entire John Muir Trail, about 200 miles from Yosemite to Mount Whitney. Lake Thomas is at 7700 feet altitude. The original photo was color, but it looked right in black and white, somehow. After the ferry, Mark and I began hiking to the John Muir Trail. This was one of our early views of Mono Creek, which feeds Lake Thomas. A twisted tree. Mark, crossing a stream. We turned north on the John Muir Trail and followed it up towards Silver Pass Lake. That's Mark standing next to one of the many falls we passed on the way up. We stopped briefly at this point. At numerous points, we were required to cross streams, and most of the time Mark hopped across like a gazelle while Thomas took his time. What started as a beautiful day soon became dark and cloudy. This was the view back just as we reached Silver Pass Lake. Shortly after we arrived, we were hurriedly setting up our tent and camp in pouring rain. We were a little wet and cold by the time camp was all set up. These pictures were taken during a brief respite in the rain, during which Mark set up the stove and made some tea. We spent most of the next 12 hours sitting in our tent while the rain fell.

Before that, he taught at the Center for Creative Studies in the College of Art and Design, Detroit, Michigan. He's the Past President of the Michigan Silversmiths Guild, amd a Distinguished Member of the Society of North American Goldsmiths. His work is in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution. Statement My work has involved the creation of figurative images within a vessel format using mechanical influences as a source for individual elements. I find these mechanical sources more intriguing than natural forms because machines and tools are continuously being improved upon and developed for various applications and operations. The unexpected forms and structural relationships I find in machines and tools induce a reaction of curiosity within me as to purpose and function. The finished works, employing traditional metalsmithing concepts, engage these mechanical influences processed through drawings and combined with a reference to historical artworks.

Equally at home in the wildernesses of California and Alaska, Muir wrote charming lyrical descriptions of nature for the benefit of future generations. Muir recognized that wilderness should not only be appreciated but should be fought for as well. He sparked the preservationist movement in the U.S. and throughout the world, working with President Theodore Roosevelt to establish national parks and spearheading the founding of the Sierra Club. Locker's paintings are paired with a narrative about the key milestones in Muir's life.
