Brechin is a community and previous Royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. Typically Brechin was referred to as a city as a result of its cathedral as well as its standing as the seat of a pre-Reformation Roman Catholic diocese (which continues today as an episcopal seat of the Scottish Episcopal Church), yet that condition has not been officially acknowledged in the modern-day era. However, the classification is usually used, with examples being the City of Brechin as well as District Area Council, City of Brechin and also Area Partnership, City of Brechin Civic Trust as well as Brechin City Football Club. In the centre of Brechin is a little gallery in the previous town house, as well as an honor winning vacationer destination, the Caledonian Railway. Along with the cathedral as well as round tower, part of the chapel of Brechin's Maison Dieu or healthcare facility makes it through from the Middle Ages; the Maison Dieu was founded before 1267 by William de Brechin. [9] The Maison Dieu church remains in the care of Historic Environment Scotland. The Bank Street drill hall was completed in 1879.
