On 21 November 1888, David Scott, formerly Provost of Brechin in Scotland (from Renmure Farm), and Mary Ann Monro, Newington House, Brechin, celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary.
An account of the celebrations was made in a letter written by their son, Willie K. Scott. Gordon Stuart typed out a copy of this letter, and he kindly made it available to us.
We have prepared this alphabetical index of guests, which may be of interest to others researching families in the area or to those interested in the history of Brechin. We hope to make the text of the letter available shortly.
