Those of you with Aberdeen based ancestors may be interested to know that Alastair McIntyre's Electric Scotland website is making rapid progress on a transcription of "A History of the Aberdeen Incorporated Trades" by Ebenzer Bain, first published in 1887. To view the book, visit www.electricscotland.com/history/guilds/index.htm.
The site is also working hard at uploading transcribed chapters of other books, including the New Statistical Accounts of Scotland (1845), with Lanarkshire currently being transcribed, "The History of Glasgow" by Robert Renwick and Sir John Lindsay (1927), "Reminiscences of a Highland Parish" by Norman Macleod (1871), and much more.
For more information on all of these, visit www.electricscotland.com.
