Two chimney sweeps, the older being David Gilchrist. They wore flat bonnets, a unique coat, apron, kneebreeches and buckles. Their equipment included ladder, brush, ropes and a ball. They were called Tron-Men because they were stationed at the Trone, Edinburgh. Copperplate engraving by John Kay from A Series of Original Portraits and Caricature Etchings, Hugh Paton, Edinburgh, 1842.
