A glen in the southern Grampians, Glen Prosen occupies the valley of the Prosen Water in the Braes of Angus. Antarctic explorers Captain Robert Falcon Scott, born, 1868, died 1922, and Doctor Edward Wilson, born 1872, died 1912, used to often visit this area. Helen Porter Mitchell, better known as the Australian soprano Dame Nellie Melba, born 1861, died 1931, was the daughter of a farmer who lived in the glen near Glackburn. Isobel Edwards was born on 12 November 1718 at Pearsie in the Glen. As of 29 January 1738, her married name was Wedderburn. She married Robert Wedderburn, son of Sir Alexander Wedderburn and Katherine Scott, on 1 February 1738. Isobel Edwards died on 6 January 1758 at age 39. Katharine Stormonth, was born on 1 November 1814. As of 1834, her married name was Maclagan. She married Reverend James Maclagan in 1834. James and Katharine had 6 sons and 4 daughters. As of 1870, Katharine Stormonth was also known as Wedderburn when she inherited the Pearsie property in the Glen from a cousin John Graham-Wedderburn following his death in 1870. On succeeding to Pearsie, Mrs. Maclagan was required, as a condition of the entail, to 'assume the name and arms of Wedderburn' and it is from Katharine and James that the Maclagan Wedderburn family descends. She died on 25 April 1891 at age 76.
