Access to Newspaper Archives for 1909

[yjm]

Hi,

Does anyone have access to any newspaper archives that would cover the Banchoy Ternan area in August 1909.

One of my relatives William Masson died from a gunshot wound to his chest on the 9th of August.   His death record states that he died in a field on the farm of Baldarroch Crathes Banchory Ternan between the hours of 4 and 8 am and I would love to find out more !!

Any help very much appreciated

Would Kincardine, Banchory and Crathes be covered by an Aberdeen Paper?
Or would the Scotsman possibly cover the same area.  Not too far away based in Edinburgh I believe.

Can anyone help?  I had a subscription with the Scotsman, probably does not exist any longer, but could try if the paper would cover this area.
