Broomhouse was Mill No 34. Not in Mill List 1852. Chirnside
Bridge, which opened 30 December 1842, was Mill No 61. 'The
paper-making business which is carried on at Chirnside was
originally seated on the north side of the River Whiteadder, at
Broomhouse, near Duns, where a small paper mill was erected in the
latter part of the eighteenth century and in 1786 John Pitcairn,
tenant of Melville Mill at Lasswade, leased the Broomhouse paper
mill. Four years later he was joined by his brother-in-law Mr Young
Trotter and they traded under the style of Broomhouse Paper Mill
Company.' Mr Trotter took over the mill on John Pitcairn's
retirement to Edinburgh. In 1823 Mr Trotter took his son George
Cranstoun Trotter into partnership. Young Trotter died at
Broomhouse 1 December 1841, aged 74. In 1848 his elder brother died
and he succeeded to the estates. As a result he changed his name to
George Cranstoun Trotter-Cranstoun. He was succeeded in the
business by his nephew Robert Nicholson Slight who had been a
partner for some time previous, and had been trained at the Cowan
Mill at Valleyfield.

Robert Tullis, son of William Tullis, blacksmith of St Andrews,
and Jane Russell was born in 1775; bound apprentice to Patrick
Bower, University bookbinder and stationer in St Andrews, 28
November 1786 and freed in November 1790. By August 1797, he had
established himself as a bookseller in Cupar. In the year 1800 he
published a book, and in 1801 he set up a printing press. He
married Miss Agnes Smith, only daughter of George Smith in Kinnaird
in October 1804. They had three sons, George Smith, William and
Robert. In 1807 he printed an edition of Sallust on
University Paper, for the University of St Andrews. University
Paper was paper that received a 'drawback' or rebate of duty under
the terms of the Excise Act of 1807. From that point on he printed
large numbers of classical texts, and calls himself Academiae
Andreanae Typographus on titlepages of the books from 1809. The
classical texts are handsome, scholarly and accurate and soon
achieved wide fame and distribution. In 1809 he converted the meal
mill of Auchmuchty at Rothes into a paper-mill. Tullis used his own
paper in books printed in 1811 and afterwards. The paper has the
countermark 'RT & Coy' and the date. About 1817, he acquired
land at Burnside, and built the Burnside Printing Works. In 1822 he
started a newspaper, The Cupar Herald, printed at the
Burnside Works. The following year it changed its name to The
Fife Herald, which in that name has lasted into the 20th
Century. Tullis was succeeded as editor by a former apprentice of
his David Molyson, who resigned because of ill-health in 1831. All
the printing of the newspaper was done by two pressmen, Arthur
Aitken and Alexander Shaw. Robert Tullis died in February 1831.
George Smith Tullis, who was born in 1805, took over the paper. He
died in 1848. After George Tullis's death, in 1849, the only
surviving brother, William sold the business to the partnership of
Whitehead and Burns, but retained ownership of the property. When
their successor J.C. Orr went bankrupt in 1869, the firm reverted
to the ownership of the Tullis family, who transferred the business
to John Innes in 1879.

An Englishman, Tyler seems to have been in charge of Robert
Young's Edinburgh business in 1637. On 1 July 1639, he took up his
freedom of the Stationers' Company of London, and in 1641 returned
to Edinburgh in partnership with Young. In the following year
Young's name dropped out of the imprints and Tyler continued the
style of King's Printer. in 1651 he moved to Leith, but seems to
have returned to London in 1652-3, being succeeded in Leith by
Christopher Higgins. Watson (p.10) says that Tyler 'having
printed for the usurper against the king, was justly forfeited at
Scoon, and declar'd a rebel by King Charles II. Anno 1650, and so
left this kingdom: and Duncan Mond, stationer in Edinburgh, had a
gift of King's printer conferr'd on him, which entirely cut off
Tyler ... but the usurper still prevailing, Tyler made over his
part of the forfeited gift to some Stationers at London, who sent
down upon us Christopher Higgins and some English servants with
him.' At the Restoration Tyler once more returned to Edinburgh,
resumed the style of King's Printer , and printed there from 1660
to 1672, when he finally left Scotland and A. Anderson succeeded
him as King's printer. He died on 5 December 1682.

Glasgow University, though it has had its own printers since 1638,
does not and never has owned a printing house. George Anderson who
started to print in Glasgow in 1638 does not claim to be University
Printer. The first to do so was Andrew Anderson on the University
theses of that year. In 1714 Hugh Brown printed four books, in the
imprints of which he claimed to be University Printer. This he did
without authority. He was working for Donald Govan who had been
allowed to print within the College.
