John Jamieson, born in 1759, was a Secessionist pastor in Forfar between 1781-1796 when he compiled the materials for his Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language (1808), the earliest British historical dictionary, this is, one which substantiates its definitions with dated quotations.
Jamieson's Dictionary is particularly rich in Angus Scots, and is still a useful reference work.
His house in Prior Road, Forfar, is marked with a plaque.
