Conversation so far:
Who was Hume's father?
Joseph Home of Ninewells.
What was his mother's name?
The Hon.
Katherine (nee Falconer), daughter of Sir David Falconer.
Was his mother influential to Hume?
Hume's father died when Hume was a child, just after his second birthday, and he was raised by his mother, who never remarried.
Can you tell me more about his mom?
His family was not rich, and, as a younger son, he had little patrimony to live on.
He was therefore forced to make a living somehow.

Question: Where was he born?
