Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book serves as an impressive compendium of epitaphs taken from churches and graveyards throughout the North East of Scotland. The book includes sections from Aberdeenshire, Angus, Banffshire, and Morayshire. The author's stated goal was not only to preserve these historical artifacts but also to use them as a foundation for the study of local history and genealogy. The author, who spent a great deal of time working in churchyards, was captivated by the inscriptions he found there. Many of the inscriptions record the interments and lives of the landed gentry or other notable persons, while others record the deaths of ordinary people, expressing their families' grief in often heart-wrenching and beautiful language. From these inscriptions, the author traces the history of these areas, and thereby provides a valuable record of life in the North-East from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. This makes for an absorbing and insightful read for anyone with an interest in historical biography, genealogy, or the history of Scotland. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
