Currie, John
A miller in Carse mill and a neighbour of Burns at Ellisland. Burns described him in a letter to John Tennant of Auchenbay, dated 22nd December 1788, as ' a good man' a 'very good man, even for a £500 bargain'. Currie had been much impressed with Burns's whisky and wanted to know if Tennant could supply him with 'liquor of an equal quality' for his public house. Currie and his wife sold 'foreign spirits but all along thought that whisky would have degraded their house'. Burns converted them to a more reasonable viewpoint.
