Ayrshire / Singing Competition in Catrine
« on: Monday 20 January 14 14:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone I have a gold medal won by my greatGmother, Margaret Paterson on the 2nd June1905 for winning a Singing competition held at Catrine. I am assuming that Catrine is in Sorn, Ayrshire.
Margaret Paterson was born in Lanarkshire so I'm assuming that she travelled to Catrine to take part in this competition.
The medal is inscribed- Catrine, Singing Competition,1st Sophrano Prize, won by Margaret Paterson,2nd Jan.1905.
So, does anyone know of such a competition being held in the Ayrshire town of Catrine or is it another Catrine somewhere else in Scotland ? Please help Thanks

PS Did the engraver misspell Soprano or is it an earlier spelling?
