Thanks to Kirsty Wilkinson for pointing out on Twitter that the latest version of Scottish Handwriting 1500-1700: A Self-Help Pack is available online for free at https://www.scottishrecordsassociation.org/publications and https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/learning/publications.
The pack, produced by the Scottish Records Association and the National Records of Scotland, is an excellent way to help train the eye with regards to the earlier forms of handwriting in use within the country, for which you will not be prepared if this is the first time you encounter it!
A physical copy of the pack can be purchased at https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/store/scottish-handwriting-kit at the cost of £12.15.
Have fun!
Chris
