The house in Ochiltree, Ayrshire, which George Douglas Brown made famous as ‘ The House with the Green Shutters,’ was advertised for sale recently in a Scottish newspaper. The advertisement did not mention the associations of the premises. There is a story which may have been invented by enemies of classical education. An English bishop is said to have given three reasons for the study of Greek.
