Excerpt from Geographical Collections Relating to Scotland, Vol. 3 of 3: Made by Walter Macfarlane, Edited From Macfarlane's Transcript in the Advocates' Library
In Volume III. of Macfarlane's Geographical Collections relating to Scotland there are several articles that cannot be described as either Geographical or Topographical. In this respect Volume III. differs from Volume I. and also, though to a smaller extent, from Volume II. It differs also from the second volume in that the articles, with only one or two exceptions, are all in English.
The larger part of this third volume was transcribed for Macfarlane by John Taitt, who was also the transcriber of Volumes I. and n. The concluding part of Volume III. - viz., from the History of the Clans, p. 259, to the end - was done by another transcriber whose name we do not know. That he was very inferior to Taitt as a transcriber is shown by the abundance of errors in that part of the transcript done by him. As long as Taitt acted as transcriber the manuscript has, as in the case of Volumes I. and II, been closely followed. But with regard to the portion done by his successor, it was thought desirable to correct as far as possible what clearly appeared to be errors in transcribing. To a large extent these were known with certainty through collation with the originals from which he appears to have copied.
