What is recorded here

Scotch Street in County Tyrone birthplace of Margaret Elizabeth Noble, who became Sister Nivedita and wrote against empire before dying young in 1911. A blue plaque at number sixteen still marks the door where that cross-border life began. Ulster History Circle recorded the fact, but the interesting part is the distance she travelled, from a small Irish street into the heart of Indian nationalism.
