Old photograph of shops, people, houses and bus in Coupar Angus, Perthshire, Scotland. Coupar Angus was the birthplace of Jock Sutherland, coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers 1946 to 1947. William Nairne Clark, one of the two protagonists that fought the last recorded Regulation duel with flintlock pistols in Western Australia, was born in Coupar Angus in 1804. Clark and his opponent, George French Johnson, faced each other in Fremantle, Western Australia, on the morning of Friday 6 June 1832. Johnson was fatally wounded in the hip in the encounter. Clark was subsequently charged with, and acquitted of, Johnson's murder. Clark, who had trained as a lawyer,emigrated to Western Australia on the convict ship Eliza in 1830. He initially practised as a lawyer before founding The West Australian Journal newspaper in 1836. The Scottish Fold breed of cat originated in Coupar Angus. Several Polish units were stationed in and around Coupar Angus from 1939 to 1945.
