George Black's Surnames of Scotland book is online

A quick post to flag up that George Black's very useful book, The Surnames of Scotland, Their Origin, Meaning and History, has been digitised and made freely available to view at https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001598191, thanks to the University of Michigan. 

Simply click on Full View under the Item Link heading on the catalogue entry page to gain access.

(With thanks to @peadarbeag on Twitter)

PS: I should add that for me, personally, this is one book that I will continue to use the printed volume for - it's just a satisfying volume to have in your hand!
