Memories Of My Early Days

I bought this book as a part of some ongoing family-clan research.
As it turned out it was interesting for a quite a few reasons.

It's a compilation of a series of short stories, previously published anonymously by William MacGillivray, they are basically the recounting of memorable people from his childhood and youth.

Lots of geography, doric dialect, domestic items, house terms, etc.

There are also illustrations by James Pittendrigh MacGillivray and H.C. Preston MacGoun.

The publisher (T.N.Foulis) has an interesting history and the catalogue ended up being owned by the same publisher that prints the Haynes Service Manuals.
