Synopsis

This fascinating book is a curated selection of extracts from the diaries of a little-known 18th-century Scottish minister. George Ridpath, minister of Stitchel in Roxburghshire, kept detailed and witty diaries between 1755 and 1761. They give a unique insight into the life, customs and controversies of the time, through the eyes of a man whose life and concerns were both ordinary and extraordinary. From his theological musings and preparation for sermons, to his horticultural adventures and parish duties, these diaries are filled with rich detail about the day-to-day existence of a man in the Scottish Borders in the mid-18th century.
