Footnote
Notes:
David Duncan started business in Cupar in 1837 and continued there until his death in 1875. For a time the firm was run as D. Duncan and Sons and continued in this name after his death. No known local marks are known for Duncan and it would appear that by all his output was sent to Edinburgh for official Assay.
