Folding colour map to rear. "Historic Forfar traces the fortunes of this historic burgh from early medieval times to the present. Forfar was an important residence of early Scottish kings, and may have received burgh status as early as the reign of David I (1124-53). In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Forfar remained a small market town. The growth of the textile industry in the latter part of the eighteenth century saw the town begin to expand until, by the nineteenth century, it was a major linen-producing centre. In this volume the history and archaeology of the town are described, as are its historic buildings, and the origins of its street names.". Seller Inventory # ScotEast121b
