When, in 1935, Sir Richard Terry was editing the Scottish Psalter-tunes and was looking for information concerning the Revd. Neil Livingston, whose monumental recension of the Psalter he so greatly admired, he found the nearest surviving relative of this divine and scholar, Anne Gilchrist, living outside Lancaster in a spacious Victorian house high above the estuary of the Lune. Its windows looked westwards to the lakeland mountains, the sea, and the countryside where as a girl she had walked, sailed and fished, and exchanged plants with the future Regius Professor of Botany, and where she made the archæological discoveries cited at her election to the Society of Antiquaries. At that time she was just over 70, still in the prime of her intellectual life, and with another twenty years before her.
