"The manuscripts of the History of the House of Gordon, compiled by the late Edward Gordon of Cairnfild, were placed by his son, George Gordon of Cairnfild, in the Library of King�s College, Aberdeen, Scotland. The House of Gordon, in Scotland, obtained a complete set of photocopies of the approximate two million - word manuscript in 1973...�
Edward Gordon introdues his work by paying homage to the tireless work of his predecessor Dr J. M. Bulloch:
�...Similarly and even more so may John Malcolm Bulloch be described as �the onlie begetter� of this account of the Gordons, for without his enthusiasm, indefatigable research, untiring patience, and vast correspondence with all quarters of the globe, no such account would have been possible. It is the more strange that he had no Gordon blood in him, yet it is to him that those who read what follows, and are of Gordon descent, may acknowledge their indebtedness for the story of their family...A considerable number of families, however, have never appeared in print, and his notes about them with, in some cases, manuscript accounts of them were left to the Aberdeen University...�
A further copy of the 18 volume manuscript is kept at the National Library of Scotland (reference: Acc.9072)
