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.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

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.
