Brechin Upper was started in 1833 and few years later the Nether Tenements Saving Association started. They paid profits depending on the number of shares, not the amount purchased. By 1861 the two co-operatives were known as the Old Grocery Association and the Brechin Joint Stock Association. In that year adoption of a system of dividends based on payments, the Rochdale system, led to a split.
In 1913 the Brechin Equitable Co-operative and Brechin United Co-Operative Association, see below, joined to become the Brechin United Co-operative Society Ltd. Brechin United joined North Angus in 1969, which became part of Scottish Midland in 1998.
