I would like to say that I think your website is marvellous and I have pored over your maps many times.  I am a Fifer, born and bred on a farm near Cupar, so these old maps give a fascinating insight into its past.

The amount of material you have available electronically is fantastic.  It certainly is on par with the Library of Congress and the British Library.  (Well, I think so anyway!)

Amazing to think I can sit out here on the banks of Loch Fyne and do all this without going out of the house. Quite delightful.

I searched for hours for a Scottish poem my grandmother (Scottish-born) used to recite from memory, and which my father knew parts of. Then I found it as a broadside on your site!  I was thrilled!
