I think it was more the sort of health care that rushed her off to hospital whenever she got a fish bone stuck in her throat that kept her going to 100.
Entirely scurrilous thought, I'm sure

The English version says that
"The location of her birth remains uncertain, but reputedly she was born either in her parents' Westminster home at Belgrave Mansions, Grosvenor Gardens, or in a horse-drawn ambulance on the way to a hospital. Other possible locations include Forbes House in Ham, London ... Her birth was registered at Hitchin, Hertfordshire,"
Plenty of choice, then
"She spent much of her childhood at St Paul's Walden and at Glamis Castle, the Earl's ancestral home in Scotland."
Glamis is currently in Angus, I believe. I suppose it might have been in Aberdeenshire when she lived there. & her favourite residence is in Sutherland.

I'll see if I can rustle up the officially verified Scots Doric account from somewhere, Floss ....
