"Smoking was a popular pastime from when tobacco was first brought from South America in the 16th century. Pipes were usually made from clay and continued to be so until the end of the 19th century, even though wooden ones were available. Most pipes were plain or only decorated simply. This is an early example of a clay pipe, dating from the later 17th century. It is quite substantial but has a small bowl. It is decorated with a fringe of small vertical incised lines around the rim of the bowl. This is a well-preserved example of an early clay pipe from NE Scotland. Normally they are only preserved in pieces because they are fragile, and because they broke in use they were thrown away."
