Canon Charles Jupp of the Scottish Episcopal Church founded an orphanage for “mitherless bairns” in the village of Aberlour, Moray, in 1875, and 10 years later Aberlour Orphanage accommodated up to 100 children. Actor Anna Maxwell Martin’s maternal grandfather was a resident for five years in the 1920s, as she learnt in her Who Do You Think Yon Are? episode in 2022 - the same year that the University of Stirling finished cataloguing the orphanage’s archives. Here the university archivist Karl Magee shares a document from the collection.
