Excerpt from History of the Parish of Banchory-Devenick Like many works of a similar character, the following History of the Parish of Banchory-Devenick is more or less a compilation drawn from material published and unpublished. While of a fragmentary nature, and in many respects incomplete, the subject-matter has been carefully verified as far as possible, although, for the sake of brevity, cumbrous lists of authorities have not been stated. The illustrations throughout the work have been introduced with a view of interesting the reader, and at the same time pictorially preserving several objects which arc likely, in the course of time, to be lost sight of. The Author tenders his most grateful thanks to the many kind friends who have aided him in the collection of matter. He acknowledges his special indebtedness to Mr. A. M. Munro, Town House, Aberdeen, and Mr. J. Malcolm Bulloch, M.A., Aberdeen (the latter is responsible for the chapter on the Bridge of Dee), both of whom have rendered signal service.
