The carnage among the Scottish forces was heavy, reputed to be close to 10, 000 men, including the king, nine earls, fourteen lords and a handful of prominent clerics, including the Archbishop of St. Andrews. Alexander Nasmyth, the Scottish painter and architect notable for his portraits and landscapes, was born on this day in 1758. Nasmyth worked for the portraitist Allan Ramsay, who instilled in him the Enlightenment concepts of man's relationship to nature and the landscape. He set himself up as a portrait painter in 1778, but turned to landscape as a preferred subject following a trip to Italy and being exposed to the classical art there. His fascination with Roman and Greek facades led to him producing architectural plans for classical caprices, and St. Bernard's Well on the Water of Leith in Edinburgh was built according to his specifications. Nasmyth's most famous painting is his portrait of his friend and fellow radical, Robert Burns. A polymath typical of the time, Nasmyth also explored optical science, theatrical scene-painting, and naval engineering.
