When I first noticed this on
http://www.greatwesternauctions.com/

I thought, 1639 bible, could it be a Covenanting one?
No luck, it was published in London, in an awfy state. (the condition o' the bible ah mean, no England)
However, the interesting bit for us doin' a wee bit o faimily research wiz the back page,
Where it tells who's no tae mairy who.

The Brither took a couple o' pics o' it and ther in the Gallery under bible 2 and bible 3
