THE RECORDS OF THE
PRINGLES OR HOPPRINGILLS
OF THE SCOTTISH BORDER
BY
ALEX. PRINGLE, M.A., B.Sc.
Published: Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd, 1933, Edinburgh
PREFACE
THE histories of the leading families of the Scottish Border - Elliot, Douglas, Scott, Rutherford, Cockburn, etc.- have already been written, and I now add to the list by this work on the Pringles. It has occupied my leisure time for many years during which I have examined the printed and manuscript sources in the Register House, Edinburgh, and in the British Museum, the Public Record Office and the Royal Colonial Institute, London. I desire to express my grateful thanks to the officials of these places for the facilities given to me in the course of my researches and for help in elucidating many difficult points which arose from time to time. There is, of course, no finality in the writing of family history, especially in the early history of our older families. The discovery of new manuscript material may completely upset, or at least modify, the traditional view, and I do not claim that my work is the last word on the subject. But as I have endeavoured to base it as far as possible on record sources and to avoid mere tradition, I trust that while new facts may supplement what I have written no serious error will be found.
