When this work was compiled in 1882, the Rev. John Wilson and his publishers sought to create a definitive work that "would supply a long-felt want; namley a Gazetteer of Scotland, extensive enough to embrace every Town and Village in the Country, of any importance...and yet portable in form..." To add value to the work, the compiler extracted population and other information from the 1881 Census Returns. A windfall for anyone researching 19th century Scotland for geographic, genealogical or historical interest. Gazetteer Of Scotland, 1882 also provides statistics of real property, notices of public works, public buildings, churches, schools, and much more. The natural history and historical incidents connected with particular localities have also been included in many entries.
