After two years, the death of the Whiterigg farmer made another change necessary, and the family returned to the Dunglass estate and settled at Aikieside, a forester's cottage quite near to their former home at Oldcambus Mains, and within easy reach of Oldcambus School.
When at Whiterigg, the children attended school at Ayton, and here young John learned his letters and made considerable progress in reading.
Here he duly put on the dunce's cap which he had seen them wear, and which bore the inscription, "For my bad conduct I stand here." A tenant having been at length found for Oldcambus Mains, the family, which had been increased by the birth of three more children, removed back to the Ayton district, to the farm of Whiterigg, two miles from the village.
