Lady Brigid McEwen married in 1954 and later moved with her husband to the family home at Marchmont House outside Duns. Lady McEwen was very active in activities in the town. In this piece she talks about how her interest in the Polish army and her contact with Polish military officers resulted in Duns' connection with Zagan and ultimately in the 'twining' of Duns with the much larger Polish town of Zagan.
