FAIELIE OF COODIIAM, DESERVEDLY DESIGNATED THE EARL OF DALHOUSIE amateur of Scotland," PRESTWICK, ST. ANDREWS, AND NORTH BERWICK MIDALS DURING THE SAKE SEASON, THE unexpectedly lengthened interval which elapsed between the issue of the preliminary circulars and tho recoipt of tho various official and non-ollicial roturns, tho apology offered for the delay that haa occurred in tho publication of "The Golfer's Year-Book." At first it was dosigned to embrace only a list of all the Clubs, their rolls of members, modal-holdors, and prize-takers, with the principal professional matches during 1800; but it WM aftorwards doeinod advisablo to extend tho plan, so as to include tho Tournamonts, the competitions for tho Challenge Bolt, and othor items of interest, of which nothing could bo gleaned oxoept from old newspapers which wore inaccessible to tlio vast majority of golfers. In tho ondoavour to attain this object every availablo souroo of information has been exhausted, both by correspondence and personal onquiry; yet tho Editor cannot vonture to congratulate himself upon having made that soction of tho book so complete as could have been desired. Painfully conscious of omissions and defects in other parts of tho work—porhaps incidental to all first attempts in producing an Annual of this character—he sends it forth in the hope that, notwithstanding its im- perfections, it may not prove uuwolcoino. To thoso gentlemen who ao kindly lent their codporation by fur- nishing the neoossary dotails in different departments, th» Editor bogs to tonder his warmest acknowledgments. > ILATUJICK TXIUUOI, AtB, WiT, 1807, LIST OF CLUBS.

    NOTES ON THE EAELDOM OF CAITHNESS. By W. F. SKENE, LL.D., F.S.A. SOOT. The earldom of Caithness was possessed for many generations by the Norwegian Earls of Orkney.

We likewise find that the earldom of Caithness was at such times also frequently divided, and each half held by different Earls of Orkney, though whether both bore the title of Earl of Caithness does not appear. It is unnecessary for our purpose to go further back than the rale of Thorfinn, Ear f Orkneyo l dieo dwh , about A.U. 1056 undoubtedld an , y held the whole of the Orkneys and the entire earldom of Caithness for lona g period.

The aim of the report was to locate and compile all known information on the church and graveyard. The collated information will to be used as a basis for the survey and recording of the gravestones within the graveyard. The project was undertaken in partnership with the Dunadd Historic Graveyard Group, Historic Scotland, the Church of Scotland and Argyll and Bute District Council. The project is part of the Dalraida Project which is the major funder. 2. Desk Based Survey Methodology 2.1 Previous Work The historic graveyard of Kilmichael has aroused the interest of some of the earliest Scottish antiquarians, some of whom made descriptions and drawings following their observations (White 1875 and Drummond 1879).
