Inverurie and the Earldom of the Garioch [PDF ebook] 
A Topographical and Historical Account of the Garioch From the Earliest Times to the Revolution Settlement, With a Genealogical Appendix of Garioch Families Flourishing at the Period of the Revolution Settlement and Still Represented

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The information drawn from these ecclesiastical and burgh manuscripts, has, as new material of history, been given in the form of literal extracts. It has not been thought necessary to encumber the work with marginal references to the very great mass of topographical and genealogical particulars obtained from the Spalding Club books, and put into connection and historical position in this volume, – the indices to these books affording sufficient means of verification.
