The Excavation of a World War II Army Camp at Mortonhall, Edinburgh
Archive material relating to Mortonhall, Edinburgh, indicates that there was a World War I army camp within the grounds of the estate, which was occupied by the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.

The Bannatyne Club and the Publication of Scottish Ecclesiastical Cartularies
