SCOTT's in Montrose/Brechin 1841-1851
During my search for my ancestors I accumulated alot of information regarding Scott's. By placing my notes on the net
I hope I may be of help to some other person researching this large family name.
Good Luck!
Accuracy has been strived for, but is not guaranteed. Some source documents were very difficult to read due to handwriting
and fading
