Eldin does appear very briefly in Guy Mannering, but this quotation, it seems, does not (see full text here). Eldin may have inspired the character of Jonathan Oldenbuck in The Antiquary (I should know!), but this quote is not from that novel either, and is a mystery to me. The website it appears on does not offer any further clue. Any ideas where it originates? Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 13:07, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
