PREFACE.
Thesedesultory notes were originally undertaken at the instigation of an invalid friend, desirous of a closer acquaintance with our lonely environments.At the termination of a nine years’ residence on the Rock, I have been advised to publish them in book form, and being fortunate in securing the services of a generous publisher, they are now collected from the columns of the local press and issued in this form in the hope that they may interest the general reader.I have to thank the Editors ofThe Arbroath GuideandChambers’s Journalfor their courtesy.
