English: A sequence of fifteen figures arranged in three rows. [1] 'On a Journey from the Highlands to Edinburgh'. The Scot, barelegged and barefoot and wearing a very short kilt, walks in profile to the left, carrying only the thick stick with which he walks. [2] 'Wha Wants me'. He stands facing the left, screening with his tartan cloak a man seated on a bucket whose bare knee, feet, and profile alone are visible. His face is distorted by his cry, that of an Edinburgh character to whom Dundas was compared, see BMSats 8103, 8146. [3] 'Running two miles for a Halfpenny'. He runs in profile to the left, his breeches bestride a staff which he carries against his shoulder. Though barelegged he wears shoes and socks. [4] 'Sweep Hell for a Farthing'. He stands directed to the left holding two small heather-brooms against his left shoulder; he shouts with gaping, twisted mouth. [5] 'On a Journey to London'. He leans against a post to rub his back, scratching his shoulders with a twisted expression. His staff and breeches (as in 3) lie beside him. [6] 'Booing to a Scots Servant, to get him into a Place'. He bows low, cap in hand. [7] 'Marching after his Mistress to Church in his new Livery'. He walks stiffly in profile to the right with a long tasselled cane, the right leg almost horizontal, a book under his right arm. He wears livery with tags on the shoulder, cocked hat, ruffled shirt, and powdered hair. [8] 'Gets to be a Nobleman's Porter - won't take in a Petition without a shilling fee'. He stands in profile to the left, his head thrown back, arrogantly taking a pinch of snuff from a mull. He has grown obese. Epaulettes take the place of tags. [9] 'Gets to be Steward - Lending his honest savings to his Master'. He bends forward in profile to the right with an obsequious grimace, his right hand on his breast, holding out a money-bag. [10] 'Insults his Master when he knows he can't return the money'. He stands with hands on hips, his head turned in profile to the left and thrown back with an arrogant scowl. [11] 'Rules the Roost in the Family and Horsewhips the Servants'. He stands, legs wide apart, arms raised, flourishing a whip. [12] 'Makes love to a rich Widow and Marries her'. He kneels on one knee, his hands on his heart, his back curved, with a smile of obsequious cunning. He wears a bag-wig and sword, his hat is on the ground. [13] 'An Essay to be a Member of Parliament making a Speech from the Hustings'. He stands in profile to the left, leaning forward, legs apart, holding out his right arm, and clutching his cocked hat in his left hand. [14] 'Gets into the House and assumes an air of importance'. He stands in profile to the left, his head thrown back, his stomach thrown out, his arms behind his back. He has a bag-wig and 'chapeau-bras'. [15] 'Thus ends this strange eventful History'. He sits full-face, wearing a baron's coronet, in an ornate arm-chair whose back and arms are decorated with coronets.

The first six figures wear tartan with a Scots cap. The second figure, imitated from BMSat 8103, connects the subject with Dundas. 22 April 1794
