Thank you Bob, for directing us to this book and to its location in Australia. I live within walking distance of the library in question and have already requested it! Cheers!..........Judy. Perth.

I am only a short distance from the National Library here in Canberra but that didn't help me much! It is great that Bain has been digitized and is on line. However, many people find it hard to read on a computer screen. I would suggest that if anyone wanted to actually use the real book as their source, and if - as you will probably have to do, read it within the confines of the Library - that you first look at the "Flip Book" on-line version, search for the names and places which interest you, note down the page numbers and then go to the library with your pad and pencil at the ready. That being said, Bain is a good read and reading him for Scottish history rather than detailed family history is to be recommended as well. The URL again, for anyone who missed it, is http://www.archive.org/details/historyofnairnsh00bainuoft Bob.
