Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Scotland for the period detail, it is refreshing to trace the quiet flow of the Priory shistory, uneventful it may be, yet smooth and clear, and undimmed by stain or crime. Two gentle tastes were cultivated within its walls the love of gardens and the love of books ;none who have nourished these affections but will reverence its ruins. There, was kept up a monastic school which made the house the Lamp of learning to the North ;and there, the simple life and frugal habits of its inmates enabled them to let their lands to kindly tenants on such easy terms that a perpetual feu at the rent they received was worth some forty years purchase. I have two duties to perform ;one to apologise for the defective way in which I have done my work, the other to thank those who have assisted me. Unable to give continuous attention to it, the notes are disjointed and uneven, and would be of little use but for the abundant kindness which has been shown in giving me materials for them. A mong those whom I have to thank, in the text not specially mentioned, are DrS tuart, Mr W. Fraser, Dr Carruthers, Dr Corbet, Mr R. Matheson, Mr A. Ross, and Mr T. Dickson. Besides these, I have met at every turn in my investigations in the Highlands with constant attention and courtesy, owing, I believe, to the respect and regard there felt for her whose descent from the founder of Beauly Priory first suggested the work.
