About Rev. Dr James Chrystal, D.D LL.D
- Fasti ecclesiae scoticanae: the succession of ministers in the Church of Scotland from the reformation, Vol. III, page 4
Auchinleck Manse - from "Footsteps of Dr Johnson", p228. "The manse still stands where Johnson dined with the Rev. John Dun, who had been Boswell's dominie, and had been re- warded for his services by the presentation to the living of Auchinleck. He rashly attacked before his guest the Church of England, and " talked of fat bishops and drowsy deans. Dr. Johnson was so highly offended, that he said to him, 'Sir, you know no more of our church than a Hottentot.' ' Dun must have complained to Boswell of being thus publicly likened to the pro- verbial Hottentot, for in the second edition of the Tour to the Hebrides his name is suppressed. The manse has been enlarged since those days, and surrounded with a delightful garden which might excite the envy, if not of a drowsy dean, at all events of a south country vicar. In the venerable minister, Dr. James Chrystal, who has lived there for more than fifty years, Johnson would have found a man " whom, if he should have quarrelled with him, he would have found the most difficulty how to abuse."
