Excerpt from Records of Inverness, Vol. 2: Burgh Court Books, 1602-37; Minutes of Town Council, 1637-88
In the preparation Of the volume was inevitable from the outset, as there is no transcript of the manuscript volumes from which the extracts have been taken. Since no one could be found to undertake the work Of making the extracts from the original text, this had to be undertaken by the writer during his few leisure hours. Another, and the chief cause Of the delay, was the occurrence of the war while the volume was in the press, and the unsettling and difficult times which followed.
It is much to be regretted that Dr. Mackay, the joint Editor, to whom the war brought the grief Of the loss of his elder son and chief business partner, has, through advancing years and failing health, been unable to take an active part in the final stages Of the work or to undertake the writing Of an Introduction to the Second Volume as he had hoped to do.
The thanks Of the Editors are again due to the Town Council of Inverness for the use Of the Records, and also to the Carnegie University Trust for a grant towards part Of the expenses of transcription.
