Violet Kennedy-Erskine was born in 1863, the second child of the 18th Laird of Dun. In her novels, stories and poems she used the songs and ballad traditions of her native country, often writing in Angus dialect. It is for the poignancy and longing for the Angus countryside in her poetry that she is best remembered. Reid's song The Wild Geese was also known as Norland Wind. William Lamb was a Scottish sculptor and artist influenced by his great love of Montrose. Image: Violet Jacob (1863-1946), 1925, William Lamb (1893-1951),  the copyright holder. Credit: ANGUSalive
