All this may have been more apparent to a stranger fifty years ago than now for the vast progress that has been effected in mining and manufacturing industries within the county in the course of the present century, has brought with it a large accession of Irish and other labourers who have gradually amalgamated with the native population, producing the usual physical results. It is proper to note in reference to Chambers' remark about the Scots Greys, that Sergeant Ewart of the Greys, who captured one of the two Eagles lost by the French at Waterloo, was a native of Kilmarnock, where he was born about the year 1767. Another Waterloo-man, Robert Lawrie of the same regiment, lies buried in the High Kirk yard of the same town. He performed an extraordinary feat of another kind, which we shall notice in its proper place.
