A provincially-printed edition of Ross's poem, with local provenance: printed in Dundee, it was owned by Janet Alexander of the village of Monikie, 10 miles along the coast, and bound by Stewart Gellatly of Arbroath, a further ten miles further east. SBTI records Gellatly as being active between 1825 and 1852.
