Beetty Dick (1693-1773) was an elderly town crier for Dalkeith, a town in Midlothian, Scotland in the mid-18th century.

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. She was known for wearing a distinctive long gown, cap and cloak. Dick never married and died in 1773, her remains were interred at the east
