The relationship between local societies and local journalism was more often a positive and intimate one. Some bodies, such as the Inverness Field Club, made the shrewd move of electing as President the editor of the local newspaper. In his opening address delivered in 1880, James Barron, editor of the Inverness Courier, revealed that he had not been elected on the basis of his 'scientific attainments'. It was, rather, his position as 'middleman ... translating the knowledge and ideas of other men into what the members were pleased to consider a popular form'. Barron also edited the Society's Transactions and had them printed at the office of his newspaper. This practice of using the local newspaper as the printer and publisher of a society's annual proceedings was widespread, the published proceedings often being a collation of accounts already made public through extensive press reports.

The Inverness Field Club derived its origin forty years ago from a series of lectures then delivered by Professor John Young, M.D., of Glasgow University, whose versatile personality remains a far from colourless memory with many friends and a few critics. The institution he was instrumental in founding (with the late William Jolly as its first president) does honour to the force of his influence upon associated study, and this seventh volume of its Transactions, covering seven years of contributions, is a well-balanced combination of field science with archaeology and history.
