The story of the Historic Families of Ayrshire is one of «xceptional interest, as well from the personal as from the county, as here and there from the national, standpoint. As one traces it along the centuries he realises, what it is sometimes difficult to do in a general historical survey, what sort of men they were who carried on the succession of events, and obtains many a glimpse into their own character that reveals their individuality and their idiosyncracies, as well as the motives that actuated and that animated them.

EDINBURGH Printed at the University Press by T. A. Constable Ltd. for the Scottish History Society 1922 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION DIARY—Vol. I. DIARY—You II. INDEX INTRODUCTION Of the two MS. volumes containing the Diary, of which the following pages are an abstract, it was the second which first came into my hands. It had found its way by some unknown means into the archives in the Offices of the Church of Scotland, Edinburgh ; it had been lent about 1899 to Colonel Milne Home of Wedderburn, who was interested in the district where Ridpath lived, but he died shortly after receiving it. The volume remained in possession of his widow, who transcribed a large portion with the ultimate view of publication, but this was never carried out, and Mrs. Milne Home kindly handed over the volume to me. It was suggested that the Scottish History Society might publish the work as throwing light on the manners and customs of the period, supplementing and where necessary correcting the Autobiography of Alexander Carlyle, the Life and Times of Thomas Somerville, and the brilliant, if prejudiced, sketch of the ecclesiastical and religious life in Scotland in the eighteenth century by Henry Gray Graham in his well-known work. When this proposal was considered it was found that the Treasurer of the Society, Mr.

In your letter you advise that the Committee considers that there may be material held by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) in the context of the criminal investigation and prosecution of Alex Salmond which is relevant to the Committee’s remit and request that all such information held by COPFS is provided to the Committee. Neither the Lord Advocate nor the Solicitor General for Scotland has had any personal involvement in the criminal investigation of, or the criminal proceedings against, Alex Salmond. The Lord Advocate has accordingly asked me to reply to your letter on his behalf. The material that COPFS holds in relation to the criminal investigation and prosecution of Alex Salmond, as in any case, was obtained and is held for that sole purpose. As a data controller, any processing or disclosure of that material must be lawful, which means that there must be a legal basis for that processing. If COPFS were to process data without such a legal basis, it would be in breach of both its responsibilities as data controller and the legal rights of those who own the data which the Service holds for that purpose.
