About MeThis collection belonged to Miss Margaret Barclay, a teacher at Turiff Academy who collected foreign costume dolls on her journeys abroad. Pupils, former pupils and friends added to the collection over the years. She gave talks about the dolls and their countries to primary schools and W.I.s when she retired aged 65. She died aged 90 on 21 March 1992.
