Hard cover in green cloth with gilt titles to top board and spine, 143pp. Anecdotes about the historic Scottish villages and Royal Borough, their industries (salt, coal mining, girdles) and churches. Now recognizable as being a set for the drama, "Outlander," the sixteenth-century buildings of Culross and Torryburn once housed plenty of real-life drama. This included witches, a hang-man's hill, a Cistercian Abby scriptorium, coal mines extending beneath the Firth of Forth which terrified King James VI of Scotland upon a visit from his home in Stirling Castle, plague-stricken villagers, and so much more. (Once home to these booksellers and history buffs.) Condition: Very Good. Dog-ear crease to one page. Inscribed to front endpaper. Illustrated.
