Footnote
Note: Although the name of Ferguson is well recorded on work by Inverness goldsmiths it is mainly seen under the partnership of Ferguson Brothers or latterly Fraser, Ferguson & MacBean. Any marked work by James Ferguson is extremely rare and currently as few as three items, all luckenbooth brooches, are recorded with his mark.
