William Meredith Morris+
He was game-keeper to Sir James Montgomery, and made violins as a hobby, selling them when he could to the visitors to the Castle. His work is said to be very good, but I have not seen any of it.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er war Jäger von James Montgemery und machte aus Liebhaberei Geigen.
Er brachte es darin zu einer gewissen Geschicklichkeit und soll in den letzten drei Jahren seines Lebens siebzehn Geigen gemacht haben, die er den Gästen
seines Herrn zu verkaufen pflegte.
