‘Paeonies in Scotland’, very short note (cutting 26 x 66mm) from an unidentified journal referring to a photograph of blooms in Dr MacWatt’s garden in Duns. Found with a photocopy (90 x 141mm) of a view of Peonies growing near the house at Morelands, but it is not certain that this is the photograph referred to in the note.
