The Porteous Riots surrounded the activities of Captain John Porteous (c. 1695 – 1736), Captain of the City Guard of Edinburgh, Scotland, who was lynched by a mob for his part in the killing of innocent civilians while ordering the men under his command to quell a disturbance during a public hanging in the Grassmarket, Edinburgh in April 1736. Although the rioters were generally supportive of the convicted smugglers, Porteous seems to have been a somewhat overbearing official, despised by the mob and the underclasses of Edinburgh society.

- Беспорядки Портьюса (Портеуса) (англ. Porteous Riots) произошли в 1736 году в Эдинбурге, вследствие слишком мягкого приговора виновному в массовом убийстве жителей города капитану . Беспорядки завершились захватом Портьюса в городской тюрьме восставшими горожанами и повешением его на городской площади. Данное событие оставило значительный след в народной памяти Шотландии и стало отправной точкой повествования в романе Вальтера Скотта «Эдинбургская темница». (ru)
