Dear Ben,
One final definition from the Scots Dialect Dictionary (Warrack):
Brave: handsome, goodly, fine, considerable, great, capitally, in first-rate style.
Note: the word is also used ironically!
Cheers,
Neil

Subject: Early Friday question - Brave Parlour
An early Friday question:
A 1720 description of a rectory – apparently “it had a brave parlour” (http://www.hslc.org.uk/show_pdf.php?item=1891-1892_51.pdf second line).
What is a brave parlour?
All the best,
Ben
