The great Walter Arnott was born on 12 May 1863. To mark the anniversary, I've digitised a little booklet of his reminiscences:

Re: 150 years ago today...
Dammit! I hate it when this happens. It seems the widely published date of 1863 for his birth is wrong, and in fact he was born in 1861 (albeit still on 12 May).
So, happy 152nd birthday, Walter.

Re: 150 years ago today...
The 12/05/1861 is his correct DoB, I checked it at Scotland's People when I was through doing some research.
Born in Govan, died 18/05/1931 in Cathcart.
