Catherine Helen Spence
Catherine Helen Spence (1825-1910), was born on 31 October 1825 near
Melrose, Scotland, daughter of David Spence, lawyer and banker, and his wife
Helen, née Brodie. In 1839 David's wheat speculations failed and Catherine
could not further her education in Edinburgh. The family arrived in South
Australia in the’Palmyra’, arriving in November. David was appointed the first
Town Clerk of the Adelaide Municipal Council in 1840-43.
Helen Spence was a Teacher, Authoress and Philanthropist. She was also known
as a feminist, journalist, literary critic, political activist and one of South
Australia’s most significant social reformers.
She had written two books on the colony in South Australia both anonymous and
printed in London. The first novel about Australia written by a woman, Clara
Morison: A Tale of South Australia. During the Gold Fever (1854) in 2
volumes, followed by Tender and True: A colonial Tale in 2 volumes (1858).
Mr Hogarth’s Will, 3 volumes (1865) was the first to bear her name as author.
She also had several other books published, but in her autobiography in 1910
wrote discerningly, ‘my work on newspapers and reviews is more characteristic
of me and intrinsically better work than I have done in fiction’.
In 1872 she helped Caroline Emily Clark to found the Boarding-Out-Society, to
board orphaned, destitute and reformed delinquent children in the homes of
families, and visit them to check on their behaviour and treatment.
By 1878 she had overcome her diffidence and won repute as a literary critic and
social commentator, and was able to express her keen interest in the colony and
its future, and she obtained a ready forum for her chosen causes.
Most of her work for education was done with her pen. Spence supported the
foundation of kindergartens and a government secondary school for girls. Her
book, ‘The Laws We Live Under’ (1880) was the first social studies textbook
used in Australian schools.
She was the first Woman Preacher in SA. In 1891 she became Vice-President of
the Women’s Suffrage League of SA, pressing the Government to give women
the vote. This was granted in 1894. She then became Australia’s first female
candidate when she stood, unsuccessfully, to represent SA at a Federation
Convention.
She was one of the first Trustees of the James Brown Memorial Trust formed in
1892.
Helen died at Norwood on 3rd April 1910 aged 84 years. She was interred in the
cemetery of St Jude’s Anglican Church, Brighton. There is a statue in Light
Square, Adelaide to honour her life and her devotion to the Suffragette cause.

Our haggis is available as a 2kg Chieftain for parties and ceremonial duties or
a more humble 750g Clansman for family get togethers.
We are also very proud of our slicing haggis which is more suited for frying
than our traditional haggis, so it is great for breakfasts or even between two
bits of bread.
For something different from your friendly butcher, why not try our delicious
homemade pies?? Our mouthwatering steak and scotch pies sell out fast
every week so be sure to get in quick. Or simply give us a call and place your
order to avoid disappointment

recognised Pipe Band in South Australia and the oldest civilian Pipe
Band in the Southern Hemisphere.
Highlights for the band include performances at the international Royal

the international Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo’s in Australia in
2005, 2010 and 2016. They also performed at the Basel Tattoo in

In May 2016 they had the honour of being the only Pipe Band from
