What is recorded here
This brown commemorative plaque records: Pet Marjorie 1803-1811 Marjory Fleming wandered here "in rural filicity, festivity and pleasure" and praised it in her journal as "a delightful place, Braehead by name, where there is ducks hens bubblyjocks 2 dogs 2 cats swine and which is delightful"
Marjory Fleming was a young Scottish girl whose detailed journal provides insight into early 19th-century childhood experiences; her writings, particularly about her time at Braehead, are remembered for their vivid descriptions and innocent observations.
