The Book of Record is a historical diary written by Patrick Lyon, the first Earl of Strathmore, and other documents related to Glamis Castle. The book provides a fascinating insight into the daily life of the Lyon family, who were the owners of the castle for over 600 years. The diary covers a period of 30 years, from 1684 to 1714, and includes details about the family's social life, political events, and important milestones.The book also includes other documents, such as letters, inventories, and legal agreements, which provide additional context to the diary entries. These documents shed light on the family's finances, their relationships with other noble families, and the management of the castle and its estates.The Book of Record is a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in the history of Scotland and its noble families. The diary entries and documents offer a unique perspective on the daily life of the nobility during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and provide a glimpse into the world of Glamis Castle, one of Scotland's most iconic landmarks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
