Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... GIGHT. JOHN MALCOLM BULLOCH, M.A. NEW SPALDING CLUB. PREFATORY NOTE. The great source of information about the Gight Gordons is the Privy Council Register, and the importance of the family is so great, and their lawlessness is so vividly described there, that I have not hesitated to quote at length. The Balbithan MS. contains a good account of the family (pp. 15-8). Dr. Temple in his Thanage of Fermartyn (pp. 72-8) gives a deduction based on the Balbithan MS. I have consulted a great many other authorities, who will be found cited in the course of the history, which is an enlargement of two different sets of articles contributed by me to the Aberdeen Free Press, November 11, 18 and 25, December 21, 1898, and March 25, 1899, to Scottish Notes and Queries, February, 1899-February, 1900. I have been unable to discover the whereabouts of the contents of the Gight charter chest. I am indebted for help to Rev. Dr. Temple, Mr. Murray Rose, Rev. Dr. Milne, Fyvie; Mr. A. M. Munro, Aberdeen; and others, notably Rev. Stephen Ree, Boharm; and Captain Wimberley, Inverness, who have read the proof sheets--a very laborious task. I have dealt in a more or less narrative fashion with the two most famous members of the family, Colonel John Gordon, who was implicated in the assassination of Wallenstein, 1634, and Colonel Nathaniel Gordon, the Royalist, who was executed at St. Andrews, 1646.
