One of my favorite Scottish genealogy books 📘
When this work on Scotland genealogy was compiled in 1882, the Rev. John Wilson and his publishers had a conviction that it “would supply a long-felt want: namely a Gazetteer of Scotland, extensive enough to embrace every Town and Village in the Country, of any importance . . . and yet portable in form and moderate in price.”
The compiler extracted population and other information from the 1881 Census Returns, plus statistics of real property, notices of public works, public buildings, churches, schools, etc.
The natural history and historical incidents connected with particular localities have also been included.
Watch to learn how to score this book for only $5 and pick it up for your genealogy research!
