CARNOUSTIE CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION 1857-1967
The society was formed in 1857 and appears to have used the name Carnoustie Provisions Association, obtaining a salesman from the Auchtermuchty Provisions Company in March 1860. It paid a dividend on shares. By 1862 it had adopted the name Carnoustie Co-operative Association and by JUne that year was paying dividends o purchases as well as shares. At this time it was proposing to adopt the Rochdale system and registered as co-operative. The society became limited in 1863. In 1885 the society trialled paper checks but found them to be too time consuming and expensive, so returned to metal checks. The society joined the SCRS in 1967.
