Note 6: Letter from Arthur Davidson RN, Kennethmont, Maybury Road, Barnton, Midlothian 12th November 1934 to Dr George Cooper

(words in brackets are from Betty Cosgrove).

Thanks very much for your letters with all the news. We never hear anything here. I knew a good lot about the history you have been reading. The first

Coutt's of Coutt's Bank started in Edinburgh. It was in the Scotsman the other day about a history of Banking in Scotland but I did not keep it

unfortunately. This Coutts emigrated to London. Your grandmother was born about 1819 but she was one of the youngest of the family. I think her mother

became insane but I am not sure. I know they had great trouble with one of the family who was mad (Betty Cosgrove heard from her mother via Nora Cooper/

Thomson something odd about Ledinghams). I have heard Auntie Ann (Davidson) talk about the Davidson that married the Leslie of Wartle. She belonged to

the generation before Aunty Ann and would have been a cousin of her father (confirms relationship with Patrick Davidson of Scotstown). I have seen a

whole family tree but I don't know where it is. I also heard of Sandy Cooper walking in the Strand (I think) outside Coutt's Bank and old Coutts came

out and recognised him at once and said "guid sake its a Cooper from Wraes". Before the big Banks were started the Coopers and Davidsons both lent money

to all the little farmers round about. I have seen old Arthur Davidson's (writers grandfather) book with the names of about 30 people he had lent £30 to

£50 to and the Coopers of Wraes had lent the Laird of Wardhouse so much that they had no rent to pay for a while but eventually settled their debt by

driving off all the Laird's cattle. Your great grandfather at Wraes was very well off for those days but I don't think he made his money off the farm,

because it was your grandfather that built the steading and also cleared off hundreds of cart loads of stones so that the place could be cultivated. I

am pleased that Hugh is a little better but how he will be able to live with the food he gets beats me (poor housekeeper).

Note 7: Isabella Allan b - - Huntly was house servant at Wraes during 1851 census.
