Excerpt from Notes, Historical and Descriptive, on the Priory of Inchmahome: With Introductory Verses, and an Appendix of Original Papers
The present work contains, it is hoped, some elements of the history of a Priory, whose chartulary seems to have perished, and the notices of which were widely scattered.
It was intended to print the verses nearly as they are, with fewer notes but when his intention of publishing something on this Monastery was known to the Author's friends, they kindly furnished him with such an addition of materials, that the Notes and Appendix have swelled to a size disproportioned to the Text.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of a Scottish Priory, Inchmahome, whose records have been lost to time. The author meticulously gathers scattered fragments of information, weaving a captivating narrative that brings the Priory to life.

The book also explores the Priory's association with the Bruce dynasty, including Robert the Bruce's visit in 1310, and the subsequent donation of Cardross by Sir Malcolm Drummond.
