Administrative/Biographical History
David Waterson, artist, painter, etcher and mezzotint engraver, was born in Brechin in 1870. He studied at the Edinburgh School of Art, was elected ARE in 1901 and RE in 1910. He married Ann Wallis, a St Andrews graduate in 1924 and was granted the Freedom of the City and Royal Burgh of Brechin in 1954, a fortnight before his death.
He was a keen entomologist and was responsible for discovering a species of wood wasp, hitherto thought to exist only in fossil form, in the ancient forest of Montreathmont near Brechin.

They were held in the Photographic Department in the University Library, where they remained until deposited in the Library's manuscript collection in 1981.
