1685 - Epilogue and Bibliography

[This is part of  a series of articles on the year 1685.  You might want to read the Overview first.]

I hope you have enjoyed reading about the tumultuous year of 1685 in Scotland.  The times may be even more relevant to you if you are of Campbell ancestry.  If you are not a descendant of Joel Campbell, I hope the reading was still entertaining despite my numerous references to Joel's grandfather, Robert in Kildalvan.

In truth, it is likely many Americans have a wee bit of Highlander blood in them and are not aware of it.  The Highland Scots were some of the earliest emigrants, intermarried quickly, and produced large families.  I calculate that Robert, who emigrated in this banner year of 1685, has a quarter million living descendants in America through Joel alone.

Here is a partial bibliography of the sources I used for the 1685 series of blog posts.  Some of my material was directly from signage at heritage sites in Scotland that I visited in 2014.  The Historic Scotland sites are well researched and have great signage.  Ditto for the National Trust of Scotland.

A majority of the pictures are from a 2014 trip arranged by the Education Foundation of the Clan Campbell Society of North America.  I had no idea that the itinerary would include so many sites related to 1685.

I am also indebted to google maps, to which I have linked on many of the pages.

The on-line historic works available at Archive.org, Google Books, and the HathiTrust have saved me enormous time and expense.
