A new book from Scotland: FROM A HOLLOW ON THE HILL, by Nancy 
Black, published by the author, 1999. This recently published 
family history merits attention. It is subtitled "the history 
and tales of the Lorn and Fortingall families" -- Blacks, 
MacIntyres, McCowans, Livingstones, MacDougalls, Campbells, 
Colquhouns, McInnes, MacGregors, Sinclairs, McKechnies, 
McDiarmid, Camerons, Macdonalds, Cummings, Macfarlanes. The 
parishes of the story are: in Perthshire, Fortingall; in 
Argyllshire, Kilmore and Kilbride, Kilninver, Kilbrandon and 
Kilchatton, Kilmartin. The text flows easily, in and out of 
history and the childhood memories of the author, varied with 
references to some ups and downs of the genealogical research. 
There are extracts from historical documents: a school register,
muster rolls, an 1837 directory, and estate records, to mention 
a few. This is a very pleasant way to absorb history, and 
acquire some useful knowledge about sources. There are pedigree
charts, a glossary, and an interesting bibliography.

The book is an A4 size (about 8 by 11 inches), soft cover, in 
quality glossy paper. There are 164 pages; black and white 
illustrations. It can be ordered from the author, by writing to: 
Nancy Black, Torwood, Oban, Argyll, Scotland, PA34 4LU. The 
cost, in British pounds only, is 18.50 including surface 
postage, or 22.85 including air mail postage.
