Henry Scott, Third Duke of Buccleuch

By Tim Hurlocker

Henry Scott, Third Duke of Buccleuch tells the true story of an entitled young Scot who learns tough lessons in life and love as he travels through France with his famous tutor, the Scottish philosopher Adam Smith.

At seventeen, Henry Scott was a boy who had it all – wealth, title, and servants to attend to his every desire. After graduating Eton, his ambitious stepfather, the British politician Charles Townshend, hired Smith to be Henry’s personal teacher while they toured France in the mid-1760s. The plan was for Henry to gain Continental refinement, sow his wild oats, return to England, choose a wife, inherit his vast Scottish estates, and then stand for Parliament. Who could ask for more?

Yet as Henry completes his privileged education, he realizes that money can’t buy love and happiness, lofty titles imply great responsibilities, and that death strikes rich and poor alike. His lofty title assured a life of ease, but also decided who he could marry, who his sister could marry, and that his younger brother was slated for the military. As the date of his Majority nears, Henry must choose between the dueling influences of his scheming stepfather and his famous teacher over his estate, his marriage, and the future of Scotland.

Along the way, Henry and Adam encounter the luminaries of eighteenth-century France and England, including David Hume, Voltaire, Rousseau, Shelburne, Burke, and Ben Franklin, the American Representative in London. Henry met the kings of both France and England before he turned 21 but discovered that humble servants had the greater impact on his life. His education charts the birth of the modern liberal order that presaged the American and French Revolutions. Henry Scott is the dramatization of a true story; it reads like a novel and contains essential lessons for us all.

Death Is Nothing at All

by Henry Scott Holland

Death is nothing at all I have only slipped away into the next room I am I and you are you Whatever we were to each other That we are still Call me by my own familiar name Speak to me in the easy way you always used Put no difference into your tone Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow Laugh as we always laughed At the little jokes we always enjoyed together Play, smile, think of me, pray for me Let my name be ever the household word that it always was Let it be spoken without effort Without the ghost of a shadow in it Life means all that it ever was There is absolute unbroken continuity What is death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind Because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you for an interval Somewhere very near Just around the corner All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost One brief moment and all will be as it was before How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Selected Works from Henry Scott Tuke

Henry Scott Tuke was an English painter renowned for his maritime scenes and depictions of young men, often in a naturalistic and intimate style. There is something nostalgic about many of Tuke's works — his vibrant use of color and light perfectly captures the idyllic and carefree essence of youth.

In his personal and professional life, Tuke met and befriended many fellow artists such as John Singer Sargent, and talented poets, including Oscar Wilde and John Addington Symonds. He traveled often in circles with other Uranian — the term in use at the time for gay men — artists. While Tuke's art prominently features nude young men, his works aren't sexually explicit. Most of his works show young men in the foreground but the star is clearly the sea.

Tuke's legacy is celebrated for its artistic merit and its subtle challenge to the conventions of his time, particularly posthumously. Around the 1970s, his body of work was rediscovered by gay artists, art collectors, and art historians — including Sir Elton John!

You can find these works and more in our gallery!
