Footnote
Although John Ewan is recorded working in Aberdeen, this rare combination of marks is not seen in connection with him or any other maker in Aberdeen. A suggestion has been made that the starburst mark maybe be the same as used by Alexander Stewart in Tain. This may suggest Ewan working there for some time or retailing wares for there.
