This was the birthplace in 1746 of the poet Michael Bruce who was born into a weaver's family and is remembered for his nature poetry in poems such as Ode To The Cuckoo which Edmund Burke described as " the most beautiful lyric in our language ". Bruce died from consumption at the early age of 21. In 1829 meteorologist Alexander Buchan was born here.
