The Beggar's Benison
The Most Ancient and Most Puissant Order of the Beggar's Benison and Merryland, Anstruther, better known simply as The Beggar's Benison, was a Scottish gentlemen's club devoted to "the convivial celebration of male sexuality".〔(''Guardian'' )〕 It was founded in 1732 in the town of Anstruther on the Firth of Forth〔Jonathan Margolis, ''O: The Intimate History of the Orgasm'', 2004. Pp262-265〕 and is often mentioned in descriptions of the libertine culture of 18th century Britain.〔(''Reading Sex in the Eighteenth Century'', pages 63-71 )〕〔(Hellfire Holidays: The Sexy Beasts of Scotland ), Tony Perrottet (()), 2009-12-16, accessed 2009-12-18〕〔(Hellfire Holidays: Gentlemen, Charge Your Indecent Props! ), Tony Perrottet, 2009-12-18, accessed 2009-12-18〕

The full title of the club is "The Most Ancient and Most Puissant Order of the Beggar's Benison and Merryland, Anstruther", where the word 'Merryland' is a euphemism for the female body – used often in contemporary erotic literature.〔〔Phyllis and Eberhard Kronhausen (1969) ''Erotic Fantasies''. New York, Grove Press: 19〕 The word 'benison' means 'blessing' and, according to the founders, the club's name came from a story about King James V, "The Gude-man of Ballangeich", who: "in the disguise of a bagpiper, was journeying to the East Neuk of Fife. Failing to cross the Dreel Burn, in spate, a buxom gaberlunzie lass came to the rescue, tucked up her petticoats, and elevated her Sovereign across her hurdies to the opposite bank. Enamoured with the high favour, his Majesty in return gave the damsel her ''fairin for which "the gude-man" got her "benison"!"〔A. Bold, ed. 1982 ''Beggar's Benison of Anstruther.'' Paul Harris Publishing, Edinburgh: 5-6〕 The woman blessed him with the words "May your purse ne'er be toom () and your horn aye () in bloom".〔 The club's motto thus became, "May prick nor purse ne'er fail you".〔
