Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... THE CLACHAN OF CAMPSIE AND DISTRICT. Lecture delivered on 14th November, 1891, to Campsie Young Men's Association. THE OLACHAN OF CAMPSIE. In a lecture delivered by me in 1885, under the auspices of the Campsie Mechanics' Institution, I gave an account of the Ecclesiastical history of the parish. I do not intend to repeat to-night what I then stated regarding the introduction of Christianity by St. Machan, suffice it to say, that to a native born Scotchman called Machan belongs the credit of having been the first evangelist who proclaimed here the tidings of the gospel. He took up his abode at the foot of the glen, and erected there a little oratory, cill, or chapel as we would now call it. This building, rudely constructed of turf and wattles, and covered with brackens and branches of trees, was the first place of Christian worship in the parish.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Parish of Campsie: A Series of Biographical, Ecclesiastical, Historical, Genealogical, and Industrial Sketches and Incidents It thus came about that it became one of the relaxations of a busy life to revisit my native parish, in which I ceased to reside as long ago as 1864, in order to collect the materials which have been partially utilised in the following papers. When in quest of information I have always been received with the greatest kindness and courtesy, information was freely imparted, and much trouble was sometimes taken to obtain it for me, or to sift out the truth from conflicting accounts or narratives.
