"A satire on the Scots; an imitation but not a copy of the satire with the same title, BMSat 2678, c. 1745, repeated in 1762, see BMSat 3988, which according to Angelo was by George Bickham. A Scot in Highland dress and wearing a feathered cap is seated in a latrine, his legs thrust down two holes in the board. He grasps in his left hand a rolled document inscribed "Act for [esta]blishing Popery". Behind him a stone wall is indicated on which is etched (left) a thistle growing out of a reversed crown, inscribed "Nemo me impune lacessit". On the right. and over Sawney's head is engraved: "'Tis a bra' bonny seat, o' my saul, Sawney cries, I never beheld sic before with me Eyes, Such a place in aw' Scotland I never could meet, For the High and the Low ease themselves in the Street.""--British Museum online catalogue.
