Notes:

Published 26th February 1962 Aberdeen Press and Journal: LAST OF THE BISSET HOUSES - The Aberdeen firm of R S BISSET (Builders) Ltd who have built hundreds of private houses in the city and North-East have been sold to BETT BROTHERS Ltd, Dundee. Confirming the sale last night, Mr David Gove (Reg's brother-in-law), a director of R S BISSET said "The firm will cease to exist on March 31st but we will finish all our contracts." Bett Brothers a large firm with building sites and contracts at Dollar, Stirling, Perth, Kirkcaldy, and Dunfermline as well as Dundee will take over the Aberdeen firm's staff as well as their premises said Mr Gove. "TOO OLD" - The sale has been brought about through the ill-health of Mr Reginald S Bisset, head of the firm and one of the city's best known building contractors. Mr Gove, added "Apart from that, he and I are getting too old. In private building you have to look years ahead." Bisset houses have been a by-word in Aberdeen since the 1930s. "BOXMAKERS" - For many years they were built by the firm of JOHN BISSET AND SONS Ltd, founded by the late Mr John Bisset, father of Mr R S Bisset about the turn of the century. The firm were originally saw millers and boxmakers. Several years ago that firm went into voluntary liquidation and in 1935 Mr R S Bisset who had been a director in his father's company formed the present business.

Notes:

from Unknown Article (June 1907): DRUMOAK - In the UF Church on Sunday forenoon an appropriate reference was made by Rev W M Grant to the death of Mr David Bisset, son of Mr W Bisset, Nether Park. This young man who had been removed at the early age of 20 was loved and esteemed for his fine mind and amiable disposition, and had been successful in obtaining a prize of ?3 during the past winter for an essay on an agricultural subject. The large attendance at the funeral yesterday testified to the respect entertained in the parish for him, and in the regret at the loss of a life of rich and ____ promise. On Sunday evening the annual youth service of the United Free Church, W M Grant spoke on the symbols of the Church, the burning bush and the dove and thereafter distributed 28 volumes comprising assembly and presbytery prizes gained by the young people of the church, in the Sabbath School and welfare of youth examinations. There was a large congregation and the brightness and enjoyment of the service was much increased by the excellent music of the choir with Mr Gill as organist. In the report of the Royal Horticultural Society just issued, it will be noted that Mr J M Brown, gardener Park House, has gained the diploma of the society for the gardeners examination. His place is 11th in the first class all over the Kingdom and hie is the first among all the Scotch candidates.
