More about this scene

This small town once played host to one of the significant events in Scotland's history: John Balliol surrendered the realm of Scotland to Edward Longshanks here on 10 July 1296. When Balliol walked into Brechin Castle to meet Bishop Anthony Bek of Durham, the Bishop ripped the red and gold arms of Scotland off Balliol's tunic. Balliol was known afterwards as Toom (empty) Tabard. Brechin's famous landmark is the Round Tower, dating from the 10th or 11th century, and one of only two examples of round towers in Scotland.

Brechin Brass Band
I have fond memories of the Worthies who played in Brechin band, most of who have now passed away. Uncle Dod was great at the band parties and always lead Ogrady Did. The band has had many highs and lows but still goes on due to a number of dedicated older members along with the juniors. Does anyone remember when the gas works flooded and we went out to gather the coal? It's a pity it's not there now as cheap fuel would be more than welcome.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
