I scanned, OCRed and PDFed the firct volume of the Clan Lamont Journal from October 1912. I will try to copy all the issues that I have (#1 through 24( covering the years from 1912 to 1919. There is some interesting reading here and if there is interest in using some of this in our lewsletter, I can provide text files of what I have scanned so far.

WOW!  I'm so happy to be able to read this.  Keep them coming.  What a fantastic opening editorial - still applies to today.

I have just read the 1912 edition and really look forward to the next. Its funny really, in todays modern technology everything is almost instant. In 1912, it would have been word of mouth for days even weeks and for Angus Lamont the Hon Piper from London to attend a Clan meeting would have taken a good few days just to get there on smokey old trains and drinking in station bars (oh how i miss the good ole days).
Looking forward to the next edition

Mary, good to hear from you!  Hopefully some day Sue and I will be able to make a return visit and spend some time going through the Lamont archives.

All our best to you and Jim.

I got sidetracked by too many hours at work but will be working on typing out more from the volumes that I have. There are 2 sections that I want to do: the buildup to the Great War and the Lamonts who enlisted and their fates and the Parish Registers that were transcribed and printed in the Journal.

I am a sloooooow typer so it will be awhile!
