Every parish has a memory; few are recorded with such care as Laurencekirk. Laurencekirk lives on these pages. William Ruxton Fraser's History of the Parish and Burgh of Laurencekirk is a classic of Scottish local history, weaving topography, tradition and documentary record into a vivid Laurencekirk town history and an indispensable burgh history reference. From its public institutions to the daily texture of Scottish parish life, Fraser traces how a small Kincardineshire community grew, argued, worshipped and remembered. Rich in personal names, family notes and references to landholdings, this parish history book is a valuable doorway into Kincardineshire genealogy records and an enduring genealogy research reference for family historians, local historians and anyone tracing kin across nineteenth century Scotland. As a local historians resource it sits alongside the finest Scottish county histories collection titles and rewards readers interested in Scottish church history studies as much as those who simply enjoy humane, closely observed social history. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, History of the Parish and Burgh of Laurencekirk returns an important Laurencekirk Kincardineshire history to circulation. Restored for today's and future generations, it keeps alive the voices, landscapes and institutions that shaped this corner of the country. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it belongs equally in the hands of curious general readers and on the shelves of serious collectors of Scottish local history.
