About the author
George Hay was a Scottish antiquarian and local historian associated with Arbroath. Search results and library records identify him as the author of History of Arbroath to the Present Time, with Notices of the Civil and Ecclesiastical Affairs of the Neighbouring District, first published in 1876, and later editions describe him as George Hay, F.S.A. Scot.
A surviving biographical page about the editor of The History of Arbroath describes him as born in Edinburgh on March 9, 1831, and dying in 1906. While the available sources in this search are limited, they consistently connect him with careful historical and antiquarian work centered on Arbroath and its culture.
His writing would likely appeal to listeners who enjoy richly researched local history: not just dates and events, but a sense of place, memory, and the life of a Scottish town over time.
