John L Wilson created the diary based around his own
writing and extracts from local history works and papers, parish and kirk session minutes, various newspapers and assorted publications.
Throughout the stories, the extracts are presented in italics.
Unfortunately, no definitive list of external references was left after his death. Wherever possible, known sources have been listed below. Where author and publication are known they are both listed. Where only the original source of the extract is known, it is attributed to that person or publication. Please contact us if you can correct or add to this information.
