George Dalgleish was physically a very strong man, he acted as dentist for miles around, extracting teeth with his fingers with great facility. He possessed 3 lum hats (stove pipe hats, or tall hats), his best one for the kirk, for funerals etc, his next for markets etc, and his working hat which he always wore on the farm. He kept a peacock on the farm which had a very modest farmhouse and is not a gentleman farmers residence. Whenever he ate a boiled egg, he cut off the top and chewed it up shell and all to give him his calcium. The great moment in his life seems to have been the opening of the Edinburgh Waterworks when the reservoir at Gladhouse which was part of his farm was formed. The original farmhouse is at the bottom of the reservoir. I believe that there was at Roseberry Mains a field of 100 acres, one of the biggest in Scotland in his time, but I do not know if this now exists. The farm is now called Gladhouse Mains. The family were members of Howgate Free Church which is quite a walk from the farmhouse, and to which they and grandchildren walked regularly.
