Full Description
The burgh of Brechin. A religious community was established at Brechin by the 10th century and in the reign of David I the bishop and culdees of Brechin were granted the right to hold a market. The town was a free burgh belonging to the bishop, but gradually came to be regarded as a royal burgh.
