Revive and Grow Strong
The Story of the McEuens and the McEuen Scholarship Foundation
by John H. Aylen, Katherine Gombay, Marielle McGovern
Revive and Grow Strong is the story of the McEuens in Canada and in St. Andrews. Dolly and Mhairi McEuen both had a love for Canada and for Scotland, and they were committed to creating strong links between both countries. Their inititiatives in this regard began with the Ajax Club in Halifax, The Ajax Scholarship that brought British servicemen to study at McGill University after the way, and finally the McEuen Scholarship which has sent one Canadian student to St. Andrews every year for up to four years since 1973. Revive and Grow Strong also includes profiles of McEuen Scholars from the beginning of the Scholarship until 2010 when the book was first published.

"The story of Dolly and Mhairi McEuen is a fascinating tale of how two extraordinary women made their way in a male-dominated world. Having money may have made their lives more comfortable, but it also presented a splay of difficult choices. This simple, factual account of two memorable characters reads like a novel. Bravo to John Aylen and the caretakers of their great philanthropic adventure for putting the pieces together in a wonderful book."

"Revive and Grow Strong is an important record of the contribution of Montreal Scots in the past and present. The McEuen donation to the St. Andrew's Society of Montreal still provides important support to the extended Scottish community today and will do so will far into the future."
