Tour Scotland photograph of Innerpeffray Library in
Perthshire,
Scotland. The famous Innerpeffray Library, the oldest surviving public library in Scotland, and still open to the public. There are about three thousand volumes shelved in a fine, well lit room on the upper floor, many of great age and value, one of the most interesting being the great Marquis of Montrose's personal pocket Bible, in French, bearing his autograph. The library was founded in 1691 by David Drummond, 3rd Lord Madderty, Montrose's brother-in-law, who also endowed the school in an adjoining building. Many of the books were added, about sixty years later by Robert Hay Drummond, Archbishop of Canterbury, who had inherited Innerpeffray and other great estates, and who erected the present library building.
