What is recorded here
Marian and her children ran the Royal Hotel on Castle Street, Forfar, long before written records. They may have baked bread, kept guests warm, or simply lived loudly beside the street. The claim is not that they are proven. It is that the hotel must have had people, and people leave behind more life than stone.
