Abstract
Adam Ferguson had an unusually long, varied, and colourful career. In his
early twenties, Ferguson became military chaplain in the Black Watch – where
he was rumoured to have seen action at the battle of Fontenoy in 1745 (he
did not, but he was present at an operation at Port l’Orient in September
1746 and in the retreat from Flanders that year).
