Pat McGregor from the 44 Scotland Street series by Alexander McCall Smith also lives in Spottiswoode Street for a time in Love Over Scotland.
The office was first mentioned in 1438, and the title is derived from the royal castle of Marchmont, an older name for Roxburgh Castle in the Scottish Borders.
In a flashback from late Spring to early Spring, Lynn Marchmont, newly demobilised from the Women's Royal Naval Service, finds difficulty settling into the village life of Warmsley Vale.
