Edinburgh University Press prevents you from downloading the original pdf document, but if you google 'Portsoy People Hillis' and then click on 'View as HTML', you'll get Google's own version which is pretty close to the original. Google are possibly being rather naughty, so blame them not me if there are copyright issues. See also the Times Educational Supplement's http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=6026496 re the James Wilson diaries: a very positive review of that book with its accompanying CD called Ruled By The Seasons - note that every school in Scotland now has its own copy. Edith Lowrie mentioned in the review is my cousin - and not *quite* as old as the review states. Howard Geddes
