Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Colinsburgh: With Notes on Church Life in Kilconquhar Parish N gathering materials for these Annals my first idea was only to trace the history of Colinsburgh, and I then thought that a pamphlet of forty or fifty pages would be sufficient; but as the subject was investigated the materials greatly increased and the story became more interesting. And besides, one can hardly write of Scotchmen two centuries ago without saying something of their religion, since that occupied so much of their thoughts and had so much to do in forming their char acter, and this led me to give some account of the church life of the parish. I have tried to tell the story with as few dry details as possible, so that it may be found interesting to the general reader; and I have spared no pains to obtain accurate information, having searched all the available original documents as well as much printed matter. The authorities are given in all cases where this seemed needful. I am specially indebted to the Right Honourable the Earl of Crawford for the ready access he so kindly gave me to the historical treasures at Haigh Hall, and only in a lesser degree to his obliging librarian, Mr J.

URING the past two centuries of its existence the town of Colinsburgh has moved on in the quiet tenor of its way. Such troubles as the rebellions of 1715 and 1745 scarcely did more than cause a ripple on the surface of its life. It has suffered a good deal of late years from the agricultural depression, but it has never felt the fluctuations of trade in the same way as the cities and commercial centres have done. At the time of the Reform Bill in 1832, when the measure was being discussed in Parliament, demonstrations were made by some of the inhabitants, and a drum and fife band marched between Colinsburgh and Kilconquhar. When the Bill was passed a public dinner was held in Kilconquhar in honour of the occasion, the tables being spread in the school playground, and the Colinsburgh men marched down in procession, carrying their knives and forks in their pockets. The school children imitated their elders, and paraded the town with a tin pitcher and a penny whistle for music, but this gave offence to the ruling powers, and the threat of a sound thrashing from the teacher chilled their juvenile enthusiasm for politics. Among the later inhabitants mention may be made of John Scott, descended from Covenanting ancestors in Newburn parish. He was at one time farmer in Balbuthie, as his father had been before him, but he was more successful as a raiser of turnip seed than in making the farm profitable to himself. He was a great reader until blindness came upon him, and he was exceptionally well read in theology, his views on some points, though generally accepted now, being then in advance of his time. He published a treatise on the evidences of the Christian religion, which had a wide circulation, and also several...
