The presentation by author Jerry Brannigan, who lives in Glasgow and is a Burns enthusiast, is entitled " Beatrice Clugston and her links to Wigtownshire ". Several of her relatives were office bearers of the Association in the 1820’s. Beatrice Clugston set up a hospital for incurables, a forerunner of the modern Hospice movement. Cala Homes chose the name Beatrice Meadows for the housing developments in the grounds of Broomhill Hospital, one of Beatrice’s great achievements - the image shows a tree and plaque to commemorate Beatrice.
