The Scottish Distributed Digital Library

I’ve just come across the Scottish Distributed Digital Library: a collection of links to digitised sounds, images and texts with Scottish themes on the internet.

The collection includes books, photographs, paintings, drawings and websites covering such diverse subjects as

• Aberdeen-built ships
• Ayrshire working lives photographs
• Hand drawn maps of Cawdor parish dating from 1782
• The Dictionary of Scottish Architects
• Architectural plans and drawings
• Photographs of Glasgow people and places
• More maps than you can shake a stick at

and much much more!

Go and have a look at http://scone.strath.ac.uk/sddl/index.cfm – I’m sure you’ll find something relevant to your own family history.
