Excerpt from History of GlenbervieKincardineshire, or as it is commonly called, the Mearns, cannot be said to have been the scene of many of the outstanding events of Scottish history. Hedged in between Aberdeenshire on the north, and Forfarshire or Angus in the south, it stood far removed in the past from those more central districts of the country in which the great struggles for Scottish independence and Scottish religion were being bitterly fought out. But although not perhaps thus so distinguished as a scene of historic action and valour, the achievements of the Men of the Mearns in the past will bear comparison in their respective walks of life with almost any other county in Scotland.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
