Jenny Geddes was a feisty woman who is reputed to have started a riot at St. Giles when the Anglican Book of Common Prayer was first read by throwing a stool at the minister! Jenny was reported to have exclaimed, "De'il gie you colic, the wame o’ ye, fause thief; daur ye say Mass in my lug?"(Devil cause you colic in your stomach, false thief: dare you say the Mass in my ear?).
