Welcome to our website “librarian”
THIS PAGE IS BEST VIEWED ON DESKTOP VIEW. SOME ITEMS WILL DISPLAY DIFFERENTLY ON PHONE VIEW.
Welcome to the Stewarts of Balquhidder Research “library”. If you are new here, or you are having difficulty finding what you’re looking for, then this page is for you. There is a lot of information on this website and we don’t want you to miss out on any of it. So we want to help you find your way around.
This website is set up like a traditional library. This page is intended to be your librarian who will guide you through the sections of our library.
Because of the quantity and nature of information shared on this website, the site is optimized for desktop view. You can navigate the site and read all pages in cellphone view, but it will be easier to do so on a desktop, laptop, or tablet computer.
-
- All of the major departments of our library can be found on the site menu at the top of every page.
- Additional sub-topics are indicated by the “v”
- Each page has its own page menu (table of contents) at the right.
This is the desktop view. The menu will look different when viewed on a cell phone.
