The Mearns Leader - 1933 annual
The illustrated front cover of The Mearns Leader and Kincardineshire Mail 1933 special number.

Like many newspapers, The Mearns Leader published special annuals around December of each year. These would feature articles looking back at the events from the past 12 months.

This issue was published on 21st December 1933 and features an Art Deco style illustration of Stonehaven's Open Air Swimming Pool, which would have been been under construction at the time.

The pool was officially opened on Saturday 2nd June 1934 by Charles Malcolm Barclay-Harvey (1890-1969), member of parliament for Kincardine and Aberdeenshire West at the time.

On the skyline can be seen two of Stonehaven's major landmarks: the war memorial on its hill-top location and the Bay Hotel, built in 1903 and now a care home known as Clashfarquhar House.

As indicated at the bottom of the page, The Mearns Leader was then published by The Kincardineshire Press, Ltd. of 22-24 Evan Street, Stonehaven.

Aberdeen City Libraries hold a bound copy of this special number in our Local Studies Reserve Stock.
