240. _Ancient MS. History of Scotland._--In the year 1796, there was in
the possession of the Rev. Robert Rennie, minister of Kilsyth,
Stirlingshire, an old MS. which that gentleman (in Sir John Sinclair's
_Statistical Account_) thus describes:--
"It seems to be a chronicle of Scotland. The most of it is
legible. It takes up the history of Scotland at the Christian era,
and contains a regular series of all the remarkable events in
every king's reign, with the name of the kings, down to the year
1565. I have compared it with many histories and annals of
Scotland, but am of opinion that it is an original, and not a
copy."
Can any of your correspondents give any additional information regarding
it?
