Excerpt from Ancient Catholic Homes of Scotland Soon after publishing the first volume of The Catholic Highlands of Scotland, I was able to spend two months in Rome, where the archives of Propaganda were most courteously placed at my disposal. As the time was limited, I confined myself entirely to Oopying such letters as related to the Highland District. These Oopies lay untouched, until the present war, and my appointment as Catholic chaplain with the Fleet, gave me an un expected opportunity Of putting them in order. They then afforded me great interest and helped to pass the long winter evenings. But the circumstances were not altogether favourable for writing, since there were no books of reference at hand by which to check my own statements or those of the writers of the letters. This must be my apology if any inaccuracies have crept in. Once again I must thank those who most kindly read through and corrected each chapter, as also those who assisted me with the illustrations.

Excerpt from The Scottish Monasteries of Old: A Brief Account of the Houses Which Existed in Scotland, Before the Protestant Reformation, for Monks Following the Rule of St. Benedict It is with the hope of awakening in some minds a keener interest in the glories of bygone days that the writer has attempted to bring together from the above sources the chief facts relating to the history of the monasteries in Scotland which were peopled by the sons of St Benedict in the Middle Ages. To him it has been a labour of love to gather together the materials of this volume, and it will be an added satisfaction if such labour should serve to make more widely known what the monasteries of old were for Scotland. It will be something gained if this book but helps to lift the veil of obscurity which - in spite of their ruins, studding the face of the land, and their names, living in many a town and village still shrouds houses which for centuries were universally regarded as homes of sanctity, prayer, and far-reaching charity.
