William James Cullen, Lord Cullen

 * ... that the early 20th-century Scottish judge Lord Cullen disliked public speaking?

2/ The hook source is behind a paywall, but the supporting sentence in the source is: "Cullen was of a retiring disposition and seldom took part in public ceremonies of any kind, and to the end the necessity of making a speech on the public platform was a thing he dreaded."
 * Reviewed: Ghost boat and William Goad
 * Comment: 1/ the qualifier "early 20th-century" is to distinguish this man from the three other senior Scottish judges listed at Lord Cullen.

 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is new enough and just scrapes through on its length (it would be good to expand its lead slightly). The hook facts have inline citations and are accepted in good faith and the article is neutral. I did not have access to the sources and was unable to check for copyright issues.
