Dundee centenarian Ruby Anderson

A former Dundee woman who attributed her long life to a love of milk has died at the age of 103.

Ruby Anderson was born and brought up in the city’s Trottick Mains and attended Morgan Academy.

Her father Frank Henderson was a well-known Angus farmer who owned a dairy.

After marrying her late husband George, who worked in the jute industry for Thos. Duff & Co., Mrs Anderson lived for a time in India.

She later moved to Beach Tower in Ralston Road in Dundee but spent her latter years at Inchmarlo House, a retirement community near Banchory.

Mrs Anderson is survived by her daughters Hazel and Fiona, three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
