Price:
                                                                                                        David Downie (c.1736-1826) is unusual among eighteenth century goldsmiths for a number of reasons. He was a Roman Catholic with Jacobite associations, in Edinburgh in the 1760s which is in itself unusual. In addition, in 1794 he was tried for High Treason for his associations with the proscribed revolutionary group 'The Friends of the People'. Found guilty, he was due to be executed but that was commuted to exile. He went to America and died in Augusta, Georgia. An ancestor of Ronald Reagan, Downie's portrait appears here.
