NARRATIVE
ON PRINT - Prior
to the introduction of powerlooms into the
district, there was a weaving shop attached
to almost every dwelling-house in the village.
Handloom weaving has now almost entirely ceased
in this and other villages in the locality
of Arbroath, but Marywell, situated about
two miles from Arbroath, on the Montrose road,
is still a thriving place. (Notes by George
Hay, 1883)
