PREFATORY NOTE
Mr Kinnear’s death when
he had written the text of this volume, but had not finally revised it,
left the work to be completed by the general editor. Fortunately, the
changes which Mr Kinnear intended to make were clearly marked ; and
these have been closely followed. As it has been impossible to find an
accurate list of those who, by advice or otherwise, assisted Mr Kinnear,
will all who did so kindly accept this general acknowledgment of their
much-appreciated help?
The general editor is deeply indebted to his friend, Mr J. B. Philip,
himself a son of the Mearns, who has given unstintedly of his full
knowledge of the county and has rendered invaluable service in the
reading of the proofs. In addition, Mr Philip generously presented a
number of his own photographs for use in illustration.
