A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
Fintry, a small bay on the W side of Big Cumbrae island, Buteshire. It is a mere incurvature 5 furlongs long; but it has a fine beach of yellow sand nearly 300 yards broad, overlooked by a succession of pleasant natural terraces; and so it is well situated to become some day the site of a watering-place.
