Girl Agnes Dorian drowns herself at Saltcoats Harbour

From "The Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald" dated Friday 5thSeptember 1902

The fishermen going out to the salmon nets on Tuesday morning found the body of Agnes Dorian in the sea.
It appears that the young woman had been in a depressed state of mind for some time, and on Monday night when walking with two girl companions at Saltcoats quay she left them and jumped into the water.
The girls raised an alarm, and a boat put out and searched in the vicinity of the harbour without result.
The deceased was an orphan, and was employed as a domestic servant in the country.
