This section is intended to direct you to traditional written sources of information. Many of these books and articles make interesting reading in an ever increasing circle of topics.
It is also intended to act as something akin to a bibliography for the text that I have inserted over my various associated pages.
The list is far from complete and some of the publishing details are missing (I started this research before I realised the importance of recording such details, but will endeavour to amend this in the near future)

These are just some of the information sources which I have come across. There are of course, many, many more. My major source has naturally been the information provided by Culzean in the form of training material to its Guides, which is not generally available to the public.
My thanks to Debbie Camp from the Education Service at Culzean.
