Excerpt from History of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland: With Notices of Anterior Societies for the Promotion of Agriculture in Scotland
The Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, which has now existed for nearly a century, having been from a very early period national in its aims and operations, it seemed that a history of its proceedings might be so presented as to illustrate the progress of agricultural improvement in the country. A narrative of this nature would at least possess the quality of authenticity. The Society's proceedings have been recorded with great care; and for the perfect freedom of access afforded to its archives, the author has to express his most cordial' acknowledgments to the Directors.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This illustrated volume traces the progress of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland and provides a window into the evolution of agricultural practices in 18th- and 19th-century Scotland, connecting to the broader history of agriculture in Britain. The author draws on authentic contemporary sources to provide a comprehensive examination of the Society's competitions and activities. An initial chapter establishes the agricultural landscape of Scotland just before the Society was established in 1784, and the work also features a discussion of earlier agricultural associations that contributed to the establishment of the Highland Society.
