'Poetess Weds Lion Tamer' – Glasgow, 5 January 1938
poet weds lion tamerAs promised in our December newsletter, we said we'd first-foot you with some highlights from these new records. For the marriages, we decided to spotlight a wedding between Alfred Kaden, a lion tamer, and Vera Husing (nee Ludtke), a German poetess. We imagine that there are probably not too many marriages between lion tamers and poets in the ScotlandsPeople records – hence our decision to feature this exotic wedding.

As the story also involves the Castlecary Disaster, it really is quite a tale – almost a "shaggy lion's tale", in fact. To read our short article about this exotic marriage, follow this link.
