Synopsis
An 1891 is an important historical book by James G. Low detailing the history of Christianity and the Church in the east coast town of Montrose. The author claims to have compiled much of the history form aged and decaying and often illegible documents sourced from both the town council and the Kirk of Montrose.
The book begins with the arrival of Christianity in medieval times, the Reformation period, the building of the Parish Church in 1791 with a full description of the structure and finally a chapter about Church discipline with details of how it dealt with issues of slander and heresy including cases of witchcraft.
