of tapered cylindrical form with reeded girdles and engraved motto 'Do Richt and Fear Nocht', the lower section of the body with engraved acanthus leaves and small presentation inscription, on a simple foot (18cm high, 9.4oz) Note: The engraved inscription 'do richt and fear nocht' has two Scottish connections. The first is connected to the name Paton, the person who presented this goblet to Archibald N Skelton was Sir Joseph Noel Paton who was born in Kelso. Sir Joseph was the renowned Scottish artist whose monumental works often depict tales folk lore and fairy tale. These are based in his deep-seated interest in Scottish folklore and Celtic legends. He was connected with the Skelton family in the 19th century in relation to Mary Skelton's work on Mary Stuart. The other unconnected but with strong Scottish connections is for the celebrations in Kelso during their civic week. At the installation ceremony the Provost sashes the Henchmen, entrusts them with the Kelso flag and tells the Kelso Laddie to 'do richt and fear nocht' Their job is to return the flag on the Saturday 'unsullied and untarnished' Sir Joseph may have been inspired by the thought and principals behind the event and the motto to feel it was a correct and fitting statement for the young man to grow up with and adhere to in future life.
