Records of Scottish Settlers on the River Plate and their Churches
By James Dodds (1897)
Note: I found this book at the McLaughlin library at the University of Guelph in Canada. As it was in their rare book collection the only option I had was to photograph each page with my digital camera. I found I couldn't ocr from the pictures I took so decided to just put each page up as a picture. Having got part way through the book I found that the pictures were quite large so I did a rough compression on them to bring them way down in size from over 1Mb to around 50-70k in size. In my opinion the pages are easy to read and I hope you will enjoy reading this book. The only other copy of this book that I know of is at the University of Edinburgh library in Scotland.

We now have a pdf file of this book [13Mb]
