McKay, Sandy - 1831

The late Sandy M'Kay's brother has been matched by a celebrated Writer to the Signet, to eat thistles against a donkey in the approaching season.  The match to come off on the Bromielaw at Glasgow.  The age of the donkey, which belonged to the stud of Rob Roy, places M'Kay a favorite two sheeps' heads to one.
