Excerpt from The Parish of Campsie: A Series of Biographical, Ecclesiastical, Historical, Genealogical, and Industrial Sketches and Incidents
It thus came about that it became one of the relaxations of a busy life to revisit my native parish, in which I ceased to reside as long ago as 1864, in order to collect the materials which have been partially utilised in the following papers. When in quest of information I have always been received with the greatest kindness and courtesy, information was freely imparted, and much trouble was sometimes taken to obtain it for me, or to sift out the truth from con¿icting accounts or narratives.
