Statistical
Accounts of Scotland
The
Old and New Statistical Accounts of Scotland were written
in the 1790'and 1830's respectively by Local Ministers.
Each entry provides a contemporary account of individual
parishes and offers a fascinating insight into many
aspects of society at the time. Both Accounts offer
descriptions of roads and bridges in the parish and
often have comments on their administration along with
details of transport. The Accounts can be viewed online
at the EDINA site by visiting the non-subscribers section
at http://edina.ac.uk/stat-acc-scot/.
The Accounts can also be accessed at Googlebooks
- a search facility is provided. The printed volumes
may be found in large public libraries, local history
centres etc.
The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments
of Scotland
The RCAHMS
has published a number of county inventories of sites
of archaeological, architectural and historical significance
and these can include accounts of roads and bridges.
The reports are out of print but may be available in
large public libraries.
They are also available to view free-of-charge at the
ScotlandsPlaces
website.
The RCAHMS
site also acts as a portal to the CANMORE and PASTMAP
databases. CANMORE gives details of specific monuments
including roads and bridges and PASTMAP shows their
positions on maps and allows viewers to highlight sites
and view their associated CANMORE records.
There are numerous books aimed at hikers which will
often help to identify the routes taken by old paths
and roads through the hills though historical details
are rarely given. Copies of these books will easily
be obtained in public libraries or in second-hand bookshops.
It will also be worth checking leaflets published by
local authorities to promote walking as these will indicate
routes, parking places, cafes etc. and often include
old roads in their itineraries. A number of local authorities
may have these leaflets on their websites (see Leisure
and Heritage Paths page for links).
