  • But where is…?

    Thought it would would include the history of the Presbyterian Church. Foundational to ALL things Scottish for centuries including the music culture practices architecture. Was disappointed not to find anything about. It. However, lots of ghost stories, Dracula Celtic demonology et cetera. Therefore ultimately a projection of peoples desires rather than histories of.
