[8] Macky, in his characters of the Scottish nobility, speaking of the Marquis of Lothian, observes--"He hath abundance of fire, and may prove a man of business when he applies himself that way; laughs at all revealed religion, yet sets up for a pillar of presbytery, being very zealous, though not devout. He is brave in his person; loves his country and his bottle; a thorough libertine; very handsome; hair black; with a fine eye; 45 years old."
