As the title would suggest this newspaper focuses on Scottish-themed reports for the Scottish residents in the New York vicinity. Being a weekly newspaper pages 4 & 5 carry this newspaper's first report of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln with: "Assassination of the President" "The Whole Country In Mourning" and a very lengthy & interesting editorial headed: "The Assassination of President Lincoln--An Unparalleled Calamity" which takes over 2 columns.
Eight pages, very nice condition.
