On-Line Books

[Currie]

Did someone mention books? This gives me a chance to once again put in a plug for sacred-texts which site includes the full text of a great number of old books, some Scotland specific. Not necessarily useful as a family history source but may be of interest to some.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/

AND

Google Book Search http://www.google.com/books

Type Scottish or Scotland in the search, select Full View, and that will bring up many old publications which, with a bit of luck, you will be able to download as a PDF file.

AND LATER

I almost forgot Project Gutenberg - search for Scotland or Scottish and you'll find the text of over 50 old volumes.

Hi there Alan

Have just whiled away a happy half hour wandering round the sacred-texts site. Some interesting bits and pieces there!
