Excerpt from Geographical Collections Relating to Scotland, Vol. 1 of 3
Though this may be regarded as a distinguishing feature of the Accounts in this Collection, especially, perhaps, of those in the first volume, they also contain much ordinary topographical description. For example, when a residence is mentioned we may learn who owned it and whether it was. In a state of ruin or the reverse, and when a village or town is mentioned we may be told' of the names and times of markets held there, whether it did or did not corttain a tolbooth, and whether its church was slated or thatched.
