Hi,

Alexander Brodie was admitted to King's College in 1631.[Anderson Alumni p. 11]. He would have been 14 at the time.

5 O father if ye think it fit
We'll send him a year to the College yet
We'll tie a green ribbon around his hat
To let them ken that he's married
Four & Twenty cambric braids she had plait
An' sent to College wi him.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this information. I might start another thread.
