Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Guide, Brechin and Neighborhood In compiling this little Manual an endeavour has been made to place within easy reach of the tourist a brief sketch of a few of the stirring events which have taken place in the district during the last five centuries, along with notices of some of the more prominent individuals who have taken part in them. The best authorities on the subject have been consulted and generally followed, but where I have seen cause to differ from them, I have given my reasons for doing so in the Notes. The information has been made as full as the limits of the Work would permit, and although much has been left out which might have been recorded, the reader will find a considerable amount of information not previously published in any local work. The routes chosen, apart from their historical interest, present scenery of almost unequalled grandeur and beauty. In conclusion, I take this opportunity of thanking all those friends who have in any way assisted in what to me has been a pleasant task, more particularly, Mr. Hew Morrison, F.S.A., Scot., to whom I am specially indebted for his most painstaking and judicious revision of the proof sheets and willing counsel in every difficulty. I would also beg to express my obligations to Messrs. Black Johnston, who kindly placed at my service the use of their valuable collection of local works, and for their care in the production of the Work.
