Maxwell & Son, Dumfries, for the drawing of the Craigdarroch Whistle.I desire to express my thanks also to a number of other friends who, although not expressly named here, have none the less helped to make my work more complete.Notwithstanding the limitations and imperfections of the book, I venture to hope that it will be received as a not unworthy contribution to the history of a parish that has long been famous alike for its natural beauty and for its rich historic interest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
