(1832 - 1901) and his son Sir Robert (1852 - 1931) were successful entrepreneurs who established and ran ?Maules?, one of the most successful early department stores on Edinburgh?s famous Princes Street. 100%% of profits from this book go to Kincardine Local History Group a non-profit community-run organisation whose aim is to research, preserve, and promote the town?s history for the benefit of future generations.
