Literature: St Columba, Late 19th or early 20th century
Scope and Contents
This item does not seem to have been recorded in the collection. The component unique identifier has been added as 'Mackinnon B.63(?)' so as to ensure it is maintained with this collection as this is where it was found during the digital cataloguing process.
It appears to be a script for a lecture about the literature involving or influenced by St Columba. There is no indication of the dates when the lecture was delivered, but it was presumably delivered by Mackinnon.

Physical Description
Although individual pages are in good condition, the notebook is in very poor condition. The front and back covers have become detached, and the binding is severely damaged, therefore many pages are now loose and at high risk of becoming separated and lsot. The ink is unfaded, but the handwriting is very difficult to read, possibly more so than that which is usual for this collection. The notebook is held together by a modern paperclip
