HISTORY & HAMLETS
Glammis
Glammis
Glammis was first settled in 1852 by Allen Ross and Duncan Campbell.
A Presbyterian Church was built in 1858 as a place of worship for the settlers.
In 1860, a post office was built with the name of 'Glammis', even though the settlers preferred a spelling with only one "m", after Glamis Castle in Forfarshire, Scotland. Today, this hamlet is recognized as Glammis.
In 1896, the population was 230 and Glammis had the amenities and services of a hotel, blacksmiths, carpenters, saw mills, carriage maker, harness maker, butcher, doctor, milliner, tailor, general store and dry goods store, along with a combined pool room and barbership.
