Opis: The Kirk Above Dee Water (Classic Reprint) - Reid H. M. B.

Excerpt from The Kirk Above Dee Water

This little book is not a parish history, but merely embodies a few scattered notices of Balmaghie Church since the year 1615. It has been evolved from a very slender original. In 1893, the Author, desiring to procure some needful funds for a parish purpose, gave a lecture entitled "Some Old Ministers of Balmaghie, with illustrative pictures and other objects." The method of this lecture, briefly put, was, wherever possible, to hang the lecturer's remarks upon some distinct object which was exhibited. Accordingly, the lecture began with the production of Macmillan's Cup, the date of which introduced the mention of Hew M'Ghie.

The chapter entitled Roll-Call is practically, therefore, the nucleus of the book. The remaining chapters or notices were produced by way of amplifying the details there referred to, in any cases where materials for such larger treatment could be got.

The chapters on the Kirk and Kirkyard were a necessary addition to the whole. The Author cherishes the hope that they may at least serve as a reliable guide to any persons who may visit Balmaghie Church. He desires to state here his conviction, that a careful study of the Churchyard literature of Galloway would yield most interesting, perhaps valuable, results.
