[From the Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum, 1838, p. 104-105:] ...public nurseries for forest trees began to be established in Scotland between the years 1730 and 1760. The most considerable of these...was that of old Mr. Dickson, at Hassendeanburn, in Teviotdale. This nursery, we are informed by the present proprietors, Messrs. Archibald Dickson and Co., was founded in 1729. ....another brother of the Hassendeanburn family, Walter Dickson, began the house of Dickson and Co. of edinburgh, now Dicksons and Shankley, in connexion with Mr. James Dickson, who was no relative of the family.
