The National Party of Scotland was formed after John MacCormick 1904-1961 of the Glasgow University Scottish Nationalist Association called a meeting of all those favouring the establishment of a party seeking Scottish Home Rule to convene. This meeting was presided over by Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham 1852-1936 the influential Scottish politician writer journalist and adventurer who beginning as an MP for the Liberal Party had subsequently become the first ever socialist member of the UK Parliament a founder and the first president of the Scottish Labour Party and an outspoken advocate for Scottish independence. An amalgamation of the GUSNA with the Scots National League Lewis Spence's Scots National Movement and the Scottish Home Rule Movement the NPS's inauguration took place in Stirling on 23rd June 1928 on the 609th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn. The present pamphlet was issued to mark this event detailing its proceedings and recording the speeches made by MacCormick Cunninghame Graham and others. It begins by setting the scene thus: "Carried forward on a spate of oratory and to the accompaniment of strains from the World's Champion Pipers the Caln M'Lean Pipe Band the new National Party of Scotland was inaugurated". In 1934 the NPS merged with the Scottish Party to form the Scottish National Party SNP of which Cunninghame Graham served as the first president.

19th Century Scottish Farm Ledger 1845-1848

184897631848. Full Leather. Good binding. 5-1/4" x 3-3/8." 108 pp. Full brown leather over flexible boards. Vertical red rules for accounting printed on each page. 1-3/8" strip of leather neatly removed from the fore-edge of the front cover; occasional ink spotting and minor stains throughout; toned leaves with a few creases; faded pencil calculations to pastedowns. Interesting mid-19th century farm ledger apparently from eastern Scotland possibly Inverurie or Aberdeen recorded during the great famines in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. The currency symbols at the top of the expense and income columns appear to be in pounds shilling and pence and various place and personal names which appear repeatedly in the text – i.e. Commercial Co. of Port Elfinston sic Aberdeen Wm. Duncan et al – lead to our deducing this locale. Although the ledger is anonymous the names of Robert Frasier Brach and James Dugard appear possibly as business clients as do the names of the recorder's many temporary workers. These workers usually hired around the planting and harvesting season are both male and female and include Mary Ellice Jas Marr George Dugard Wm. Duncan Alex Burr and many others. Extensively detailed and highly readable this ledger document the many expenses and income sources of a working farm showing precise amounts for equipment scythes and carts feature prominently horses bolls of meal barrels of lime whisky and various other sundries. The farm's produce relied heavily on grains especially corn and barley just as the Corn Laws were being heatedly debated in Parliament and its overall diversity demonstrates the crop diversity that allowed eastern Scotland and the Lowlands to evade the ravages of the potato blight; plots and crops for planting the "slack land" are also demarcated. Charts showing daily employee wages are also of special note. Overall a unique useful and well-maintained agricultural document concurrent with and standing in stark contrast to the devastation occurring in the western portion of the country and Ireland at that time. unknown
