Statisitical accounts of Scotland The Statistical accounts of Scotland web site, hosted by EDINA, is a fully searchable and browsable facsimile of the Old Statistical Account (1791-1799) and the New Statistical Account (1845) which were compiled from information supplied largely by parish church ministers. These accounts provide information on subjects such as wealth and poverty, climate, agriculture, populations and schools. Information on the accounts is available from the site. It is possible to browse the accounts by table of contents, by general index and by county or parish level. It is necessary to specify which account is to be browsed in each case. It is also possible to search the accounts (either separately or together). Searches can be carried out on the general index, counties, parishes or page text. Online help on searching and browsing the accounts is available. The web site also provides information on the project. The information on this site is well set out, easy to search and browse. This is a valuable resource for anyone looking for material on late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Scotland.
