Genealogical Collections of Scottish Families Vol 223-02-2016

The Collection of Manuscripts formed by Walter Macfarlane was purchased by the Faculty of Advocates in 1785 from his niece Miss Janet Macfarlane, for the sum of twenty-one pounds. Among those manuscripts, in addition to the two volumes of Genealogical Collections—now by the permission of the Faculty published for the first time—were The Geographical Collections, 3 vols., the publication of which is shortly to be undertaken by the Society.
