1 David Charteris ‘Dav.’ Graham (1889-1963), M.B., medical practitioner and Dr Muir’s business partner.
2 Probably Robert Scott Noble (1885-), tweed manufacturer. He was the son of James Scott (1854-1940), tweed manufacturer, and Elizabeth Florence Scott née Noble, married 18 June 1884, Wellfield, Wilton Roxburghshire. Robert Scott Noble married, 9 June 1914 at St John’s Episcopal Church, Selkirk, Edith Alice Hutton of Braeside, Selkirk.
3 L.M.C. must be a variant of M.C. or ‘Magic Cave’ as Dr Muir had previously named his good friend Agnes Mackintosh née Watson, formerly Harper (1859-1946) of Elm Park, Selkirk.
