"Nairn has had many roles through time: from a small medieval burgh with its burgage plots and associated castle; to a small seventeenth-century town which could not meet its taxation dues; to an early eighteenth-century garrison town beset with billeted troops; and emerging in the nineteenth century as one of the premier resorts of Scotland. The classic burgh plan of medieval Nairn is still visible today; but was this the original 'Invernairn'? Some clues suggest that twelfth-century Nairn became inundated with water and was forced to relocate to a more protected site in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. This book is part of the Scottish burgh survey-a series designed to identify which areas of Scotland's historic burghs are of archaeological interest.". SIGNED COPY.…

"North Queensferry owes its existence to the ferries which provided transport across the Forth. Throughout the middle ages most of the inhabitants were involved in manning the ferry crossing and providing accommodation and sustenance to travellers. In the eighteenth century various industries were established including two quarries, a chemical works and a brickworks. The 'Queen Margaret', the first steam ferry boat on the Forth, was launched in 1821, the Forth Rail Bridge was opened in 1890, and by the end of the century, the village was a favourite resort for 'sea-bathing', rowing regattas and golf.

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).

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.".…

"The first mention of Dalkeith occurs c 1143 when David I (1124-53) granted land at 'Dolchet' [Dalkeith] to Holyrood Abbey; but there was probably already a castle and settlement here, perhaps in the present Dalkeith Parks. The town entered an era of increased trade and prosperity when it became a free burgh of barony in 1401. With its strategic location, and its position-at times almost centre stage in the political arena, the varying fortunes of Dalkeith through the centuries mirror those of Scotland as a whole. Historic Dalkeith is a fascinating study of the town's history and archaeology from its medieval origins up to the nineteenth century, its historic buildings including St Nicholas' Chapel and Dalkeith Palace, its geography and topography, and the origins of its streets and street names. This book is part of the Scottish burgh survey-a series designed to identify which areas of Scotland's historic burghs are of archaeological interest.".…

"A settlement has existed at Cadzow (or Hamilton as it was later called) since at least the twelfth century when King David I (1124-1153) held court there. Historic Hamilton is an engrossing account of the origins of the town and of the relationship between the Hamilton family and ordinary townsfolk-which reached its zenith with the 'great design' of Duchess Anne in the late seventeenth century.
