A friend found two excellent old sets that I was happy to have him obtain for me. This is possibly my favourite of the two. It’s so wonderfully illustrated throughout and the chapters aren’t as extensive as they might seem from the size of the publications. The chapters are also laid out in very much the same fashion as one of my absolute favourite publications; Grant’s ‘Old and New Edinburgh‘ (1880). I can’t wait to get it uploaded as soon as possible as I’ve already come across some interesting information I’ve not come across elsewhere. Much has also been gleaned by Mr Keltie here from Browne’s ‘A History of the Highlands and of the Highland Clans‘ (1839 & 1850). Interesting to see what we get with this one.
