About

There are two obituaries for Florence which summarise Florence’s life and work very well. The one in the Herald by Loudon Temple leans more towards her career as an artist, whilst the one by Jennifer McBain in The Scotsman adds more about Florence’s character.

Some images from Florence’s life.
