Jock Drice the Leith carter
Description
A man wearing an apron holds up a thin stick with a string attached to it.

The poet, Donald Campbell has written a poem inspired by this character by Holt:

Jack Drice

From Fisherrow to Fairmilehead
driving in his dray,
Jack Drice, Craigmillar born and bred
takes this road every day
All honest men who love their beer
will cheer him on his way.
