About this book
Exploring off the beaten track filled out what Louis A. Barbé learned of Scotland and its history, and this collection of papers from 1912 records what he found, mostly from the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. He had already written on the Gowrie House tragedy, Viscount Dundee and Kirkcaldy of Grange. One paper is not mainly Scottish: it follows a medieval French belief that Englishmen were saddled with tails as a punishment, a story some Scottish chroniclers also repeated. Some papers first ran in condensed form in the Glasgow Herald and the Evening Times.
