And as base and continuum to the story of a great Scottish family stands Broomhall, the house to which each generation brought trophies, mementos, relics, reports, letters, and ephemera. The book is based on the Elgin archives, which the present Earl of Elgin placed at the disposal of the author, whose extensive research took him as far afield as Canada and Japan."
