Footnote
Notes: For many years, the shop William Robb had in Braemar was mainly an outlet for items made in Ballater and the necessity for a Braemar town punch seems to have been considered unimportant. Items bearing this mark are much rarer than previously considered and to date we have only noted three examples (including those offered here) with the combination of WR and BMR - all are on kilt pins of varying sizes.
