A key newspaper in mid-nineteenth century Scotland was The Witness, published in Edinburgh from 1840 until 1864 and edited for much of that time by Hugh Miller, a towering figure in the Scotland of that era. The Witness, very much the voice of the then newly launched and hugely influential Free Church of Scotland, contains all sorts of valuable insights into social, cultural, political and ecclesiastical developments in early Victorian Scotland.
