"Publications of the Scottish History Society, Volume 36" by Fountainhall is a historical account likely compiled in the late 19th century. This volume includes the journals of Sir John Lauder, Lord Fountainhall, detailing his life from 1665 to 1676, particularly focusing on his travels, legal observations, and reflections on public affairs during a tumultuous period in Scotland's history. The opening of the volume introduces us to the manuscripts and sets the context for Fountainhall's writings, beginning with his journey to France at the young age of nineteen. Lauder documents his experiences abroad as a law student, capturing his observations on European society, significant public events, and his eventual return to Scotland. The narrative highlights not only his travels in various locales including London and Oxford but also offers insights into the political climate of the time, reflecting both personal anecdotes and more formal accounts of judicial matters that reveal the complexities of Scottish governance and society.
