| A small number of non-family items, mainly associated with the chaplains of St Serfs (the chapel built by Magdalene Sharpe-Erskine), are known to be in the Dunimarle Library. Another relgious text in the collection,(DH LIB 889), has the inscription "Dr Bruce with E. N. Fraser's kind regards, June 9th 1851" Bruce was not necessarily at Dunimarle when the book was annotated. |
