About MeThe Silver Darling brooch celebrates 60 years of the Torry Research Station in 1989. It was acquired by a male who spent much of his career at the Ministries of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) labs in Norwich, later to become head of these labs until his retirement in 1992. He would regularly fly to Aberdeen in the 1970s (as well as worldwide) for conferences and work at the Torry Research Station.
