[edit] robert heron

is there a reason that Robert Heron redirects here? i don't find the name anywhere in the article.--Alhutch 01:44, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Robert Heron was Pinkerton's pseudonym for his Letters of Literature. PS: This article contains some errors--Pinkerton did not attend university, but articled to William Aytoun, a writer to the Signet at Edinburgh. As well, much of his scholarship is still considered to be very sound indeed, his ideas about the Celts aside.
