I don't have the answer but I found an intersting site for a history and wlaking tour of Bervie, it mentions Kirkburn. As for you Brinden building I would suggest the local Bervie library I have always found local libraries very helpful. http://members.aol.com/bervieinfo/tourinfo/burghheritagewalk/iheriwalk.html >----- Forwarded Message ----- >From: "Esther Handy" <essiemae@tcc.on.ca> >To: SCT-KINCARDINE-L <SCT-KINCARDINE-L@rootsweb.com> >Subject: Brindens Bld's > >Hi List.....I have a question to ask SKS who thinks they may be able to help me (fingers crossed) >My grandfather Alexander Ross....was born 1899 in a place called Brindens Buildings Kirkburn in Bervie...... >Could anybody tell me exactly what a Brinden Building was....would that be equivalent to a home for unwed mothers???? >Is this place still there????
