The Fourth Statistical Account

Post by Chris Paton » Fri Sep 28, 2007 7:37 pm

According to the new leaflet at the GROS explaining how the Scotland's People family history centre is going to work, we'll be able to gain access to the four Statistical Accounts of Scotland.

Have I missed something - I thought there were only three?

Hi Chris,

Like you, I believe there to be three Statistical Accounts of Scotland.
  • Old (or First) Statistical Account of Scotland (1791-1792)
  • New (or Second) Statistical Account of Scotland (1834-1845)
  • Third Statistical Account of Scotland (1951-1992)
So where they are finding a fourth account, I don't know.

All the best,

AndrewP

I'm all for value for money, but maybe that's pushing it a bit! :)

Maybe it came in with those aliens [alien] who keep snatching those relatives of ours who are here one year and missing the next. :D

It appears the first two are currently downloadable, supposedly in full, from GoogleBookSearch

Hi Alan,

You'll also find them at the EDINA site at http://stat-acc-scot.edina.ac.uk/sas/sa ... ion=public&

I had no idea they could be downloaded from Google though, it might make it easier to search through them by keywords - good shout...! :)
