This early work on Scottish history is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It details the history of Dumfries and Galloway from A.D. 79 onward. This is a fascinating work and thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in Scottish regional history. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
