Two surveys of vernacular buildings and tree usage in the lordship of Strathavon, Banffshire, 1585x1612

The Scottish History Society was established in 1886 and now has published over 170 volumes of primary source material relating to Scottish History across six separate series. Included among these publications have been fourteen miscellany volumes of material, all of which contain groupings of transcriptions and commentaries of smaller original documents. So the addition to these miscellany volumes by Ross sits squarely amid this long tradition of bringing primary documents, many of which are written in difficult hands, into both the academic and public domains via transcription, contextualisation, and commentary. This contribution by Ross is also important because the two documents that he transcribed and analysed are unique in a Scottish context.
