Tobacco pipe (fragments)

These three clay fragments of tobacco pipe are from Inveresk Cemetery in East Lothian. They date from between the 17th and 19th century.

The almost complete bowl is marked 'I' and has a stamp on the base.

The first Scottish-based manufacturer of tobacco pipes was William Banks, established in the Canongate by 1622. By the late 17th century there were pipe makers in Stirling and Glasgow and consequently fewer imports.
