This is a collection of issues of this publication that are on the Internet Archive. Problem is that while they mark some of them as volume 1, etc they don't tell you what is in each volume. This being the case I downloaded a few to explore the contents and found many interesting articles.  I have thus now downloaded quite a few volumes and so below you can now see the basic contents for each. When you click on any of these volume links you are taken to a page for that volume where I've also put in a scan of the contents page so you can also see the author of each article. At the foot of the page is a link to download that volume.  This actually takes up a fair amount of time and effort to do this so hopefully you will find this useful.

There are many interesting articles in these volumes and just reading Volume 1 you will find a critical article on genealogy where the author comments on how the House of Gordon has many compilers but all covering the same main lines whereas none seem willing to spend time on the minor lines. He observes that if genealogists worked in co-operation then much more could be done.

In another article there is a discussion about how one historian has made many incorrect observations and thus slanted the history of Scotland for those that just read his book. The warning is clear in that no history on its own should be considered totally factual.

The there is an article on the Sculptured Stones of Scotland which is also very interesting.  A lot of these articles also give references to other works and in each volume you'll also find a book review section.
