A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
Baads, a moorish tract in the W of Cullen parish, Banffshire. It is falsely said by the later chronicles to have been the scene of a fierce battle between Norwegians and Indulph, King of Alban (954-62), in which the latter was slain; but certainly it is thickly studded with tumuli, containing decayed bones, fragments of arms, and other relics.
