Various scanned books related to Scottish culture, including a copy of J. Scott Skinner's "The Scottish Violinist" that's the edition before the one I've got.

The blog is quite interesting, but the best bit's the scanned documents, including some classic 60s stuff on phone signalling.

I'm unconvinced by the project, but the idea of using kickstarter to fund research projects is an interesting one. Wonder whether I'd get away with it here! (Those donating $100 get free B+B at a workshop at the end, or something...)
