I have a pdf copy of Reminiscences of Innerleithen and Traquair (1896) by Thomas Dobson in which he mentions Reverend Pate a few times. This is a chatty little walk down memory lane for Dobson, whose family owned and managed the Dobson woolen mill, Innerleithen, for many years.
Thomas recalls his boyhood and the many villagers who impressed his life--happy to send you a copy.
