Ruth Morrison stepped in to help out when a kirk organist took ill, but was to remain at the keyboard for the next 73 years.
She was asked to provide cover at Princes Street Church, Arbroath, when Miss Helen B. Mill, Hill House, Arbroath, was indisposed.
Miss Morrison was 16 when she began her temporary tenure in 1939.
However, Miss Mill’s health deteriorated and she died in 1943. Miss Morrison was then confirmed as full-time organist and choirmaster the following year. Miss Mill had been organist at the church since 1900.
