I have over the past few weeks added quite a number of historical articles to the site. For the most part they have been taken from old issues of the Scottish Review and the Scottish Historical Review.
In some cases I've ocr'd in the whole article and in other cases I've created a pdf file. In all cases there is at least some text to describe the article.
Most of these new articles run from 200 onwards and you can read then at http://www.electricscotland.com/hist...cles/index.htm
