500 years of Printing in Scotland

In 2008, Scotland celebrated the 500th anniversary of its printing industry. This 32 page pamphlet, illustrated in black and white, was published by the Scottish Printing Archival Trust as one of the legacies of those celebrations.

500 years of printing in Scotland includes: a description of the origins of printing in Scotland; a list of the earliest Scottish printers in towns throughout Scotland; an account of the technological advances in the printing trade to which Scots have contributed over the last 500 years; a guide to relevant archival material in the National Library of Scotland.
