Brechin is a town as well as former Royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. Traditionally Brechin was referred to as a city because of its cathedral as well as its standing as the seat of a pre-Reformation Roman Catholic diocese (which proceeds today as an episcopal seat of the Scottish Episcopal Church), yet that status has actually not been officially identified in the contemporary period. However, the designation is commonly made use of, with instances being the City of Brechin as well as Area Neighborhood Council, City of Brechin and also Area Partnership, City of Brechin Civic Trust and Brechin City Football Club. In the centre of Brechin is a little gallery in the previous town house, as well as an award winning vacationer destination, the Caledonian Railway. In addition to the cathedral and also round tower, part of the chapel of Brechin's Maison Dieu or medical facility makes it through from the Middle Ages; the Maison Dieu was founded before 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.
