Author Description

Excerpt from Elgin Past and Present: A Historical Guide Edinburgh, for the full use of his Heraldic Stones in Elgin and Neighbourhood, as well as for much valuable assistance with my mss. Mr Thomas Ross, LL.D., Edinburgh, I have to thank for reading over my Cathedral notes, for various Cathedral drawings, and for much other assistance. Mr George Bain, Nairn, I have also to thank for much useful advice. To the Council of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland I am deeply indebted for the loan of some sixty blocks of heraldic and other illustrations which had appeared in their Proceedings. And grateful acknowledgment has to be made to Messrs E. W. Thorburn, Elgin Mr J. D. Yeadon, Elgin Mr W. C. Third, Elgin; and Messrs Valentine, Dundee, for permission to reproduce photographs. I have also to acknowledge the courtesy of e.m. Board of Works, for allowing me to take some special photographs and rubbings in the Cathedral.
