TOWN CRIER

This is the town crier, Francis Allan about 1910. As the town crier, it was his duty to keep the inhabitants of Ellon informed of the local, national and international news. He was in fact a talking newspaper. As well as being the town crier, he was also a tailor, beadle, bell-ringer, barber and gravedigger.
