Instead of using a bell, Dick would beat a wooden plate with a spoon making a loud din to draw attention to announcements, working for just a penny per announcement.[2] She was known for wearing a distinctive long gown, cap and cloak.[3] Dick never married and died in 1773, her remains were interred at the east side of the old Churchyard, Dalkeith.[4]
Dick was drawn by artist John Kay in his published work 'A series of original portraits'[5] and the portrait hangs in an exhibition in a collection at the Dalkeith Museum.[6]
