GRANDGOR is used in Scotland for the pox. In the Philosophical Transactions, No. 469, sect. 5, we have a proclamation of King James IV. of Scotland, ordering all who had this disease, or who had attended others under it, forthwith to repair to an island (Inchkeith) in the frith of Forth. If the grandgor was the pox, and this distemper came into Europe at the siege of Naples in 1495, it must have made a very quick progress to cause such an alarm at Edinburgh in 1497.
