By the  way, I see from the notes at the back of The Lothian Collection that  
 
John Bowie Dickson lived in Montreal for many years: from 1954 to 1957,  and  
again from 1962 until 1978 or later.


I knew the Dicksons in Montreal.  John was from Edinburgh (or had at  least 
lived there a long time).  Also haling from Edinburgh, I  have always assumed, 
therefore, that 'The Mercat Cross' referred to  that one.
