According to Patterson's "History of Tatamagouche", the Duke of Sutherland sent a number of Gaelic Bibles to the Hon. Alex Campbell in Tatamagouche for distribution to the Sutherlandshire emigrants who settled in the Cobequid Mountains. Campbell had earlier been in England conducting business, (he was a shipbuilder), and had met with the Duke concerning the lack of religious and educational material among the gaelic speakers of Earltown who emigrated from the Duke's estate. The Duke responded with the gift of bibles inscribed in gaelic to his kinsmen or clansmen of "Cattach". I can't find my notes at the moment but I believe it was in the 1830's. Oral tradition claims that there were about 30 of these bibles. Tradition also claims that some families refused to accept the gift from the family that evicted them. Some obviously accepted as there are still a few among the descendents. I suspect those who came over voluntarily from Rogart accepted while those who were cleared from Clyne rejected them. Some may have been distributed among the Sutherland people who settled in nearby Pictou County. A neighbour of mine still has a copy in relatively good condition. He acquired it in a box of junk at an auction of an old Earltown farmhouse. Glen Matheson
