I'm sorry I don't know where she is buried but would imagine it will be either Forfar or Aviemore. We moved in the late fifties and at that time she was still in Aviemore. She lived with a Irish companion, who we called Auntie Paddy but I can't remember her full, or real name. Paddy was a Catholic and there was no Catholic church in Aviemore. Pearl paid for land and a small church to be built. This was near the house on the other side of the road. Paddy was buried there and that is why Pearl may be buried there if she is not buried in Forfar.
I did not know anything about Pearl's family but I think my parents thought her family were something to do with Jute mills in Dundee. I would be interested in the family story if you have it. We loved going to see her as she was a lovely lady and her garden was beautiful and colourful.

I just came across your post looking for Pearl More Smieton. I grew up in the highlands and knew her.  I called her Auntie Pearl and I still have a book that she gave me and a painting she did of Menton, probably in the early 50's. My sister also has a painting by her. If you want to know any more about her I will try to help.
