  • The Brechin Hammermen's Incorporation, 1600–1762, and Later
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 130 (2000), 773–793 The Brechin Hammermen’s Incorporation, 1600–1762, and later fine metal craftsmen to c 1850 David G Adams* ABSTRACT The book of the Brechin Hammermen’s Incorporation, although it has been in public hands since the 1880s, has never been directly referred to by compilers of the standard works of reference on Scottish arms makers or clock- and watchmakers. This article outlines the historic background to the formation of the Incorporation, accounts for the various crafts within it and compares and contrasts it with those of other burghs. It also lists members of the fine metal crafts including a goldsmith, coppersmiths, pewterers, armourer/swordslippers, gunsmiths and a clockmaker. Also appended is a list of clock- and watchmakers and a gunmaker recorded after 1770 to c 1850 from other sources. The names and dates of Brechin gunmakers which match attributed and non-attributed guns are compared and a table shows the descent of the gunmaking craft from master to apprentice, 1600–1760. INTRODUCTION The Book of the Brechin Hammermen’s Incorporation, 1600–1762, is in the hands of Angus Council Cultural Services, previously Angus District Council Library and Museum Service from 1974 and before that Brechin Town Council for over 100 years. Charles Whitelaw — author of the standard work on Scottish Arms Makers (1977) — did much of his research by proxy. The Town Clerk supplied him with extracts from the Brechin burgess records but failed to draw his attention to the Hammermen’s Book. So Whitelaw was able to assume that Brechin never had such an Incorporation although there are references to it in Black’s (1865) History of Brechin to 1864.
