| | By 1563 (at thirteen years of age) he matriculated at St. Salvatore's College, St. Andrews, though there is no evidence of his having graduated afterwards. | | | Perhaps Napier studied on the continent, as was the tradition among the gentry, but he returned to Scotland in 1571 where plans were commenced for him to marry Elizabeth Stirling and to construct a castle at Gartness where he and his wife took up residence in 1574. | | | During these years Napier had also been working on his other avocation - mathematics - and had commenced writing a book on the art of reckoning, but had abandoned it in favor of his discovery of logarithms, though the latter did not appear in print until 1614. |
