| Abstract: | After the false starts described in chapter 7, firstly by Robert Pape at the Citadel, and then at North Leith under the management of Sir James Stansfield, glassmaking at Leith entered a more successful phase, despite the disruption which must have been caused by Stansfield's murder. No information about events at the glassworks immediately after his death has been found, although lengthy correspondence concerning his surviving son and the settlement of his estate remains in the National Library of Scotland. Whether the two skilled English glassmakers - who had arrived so fortuitously from Dublin and been greeted so enthusiastically by Stansfield - remained for even a short time is not known but seems unlikely. Clearly someone else had to take over management of the concern - and the man who shouldered that responsibility was Stansfield's reliable and trusted aide, Alexander Ainslie. | ||
