Notes	There is a claim that this John Silver was acquainted with the author Robert Louis Stevenson when he spent time in Braemar and, hence, the likely source of his Treasure Island character Long John Silver. Seems to be correct given that John Silver lived at Braemar and Stevenson visited there in 1881; before Treasure Island was published. This report is worth reading too. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/aberdeen/yo-ho-ho-and-a-bottle-of-whisky-1.475306
