Identifier: Adv.MS.34.7.12
Scope and Contents

As well as teaching in a number or local schools, mostly in the parish of Glenmuick, Rule taught book-keeping, navigation and arithmetic to private pupils. His notebook includes accounts, lists of books, minutes of visits to the schools by the committee of the presbytery, and reflections on the events of the year. These last are mostly of a religious nature, but he mentions his own and his children`s affairs and (folio 48) the political events of 1745.

Dates: 1713-1755.
