Brechin is a community as well as previous Royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. Generally Brechin was called a city as a result of its cathedral and also its condition as the seat of a pre-Reformation Roman Catholic diocese (which continues today as an episcopal seat of the Scottish Episcopal Church), however that condition has actually not been officially recognised in the modern-day era. However, the designation is commonly used, with instances being the City of Brechin as well as Area Area Council, City of Brechin as well as Area Partnership, City of Brechin Civic Trust and Brechin City Football Club. In the centre of Brechin is a small gallery in the previous town house, as well as an honor winning tourist destination, the Caledonian Railway. In addition to the cathedral as well as round tower, part of the church of Brechin's Maison Dieu or health center makes it through from the Middle Ages; the Maison Dieu was founded prior to 1267 by William de Brechin. [9] The Maison Dieu chapel is in the treatment of Historic Environment Scotland. The Bank Street drill hall was completed in 1879.
