Baxter and Leonora Jeffrey Rintoul. The two ornithologists often worked together, co- writing other works such as 'Birds of Scotland&apos. Both women were upstanding ornithologists with Baxter being the first women to receive the 'Union Medal of the British Ornithological Union' and Rintoul being a member of the 'Royal Society of Edinburgh', which was rare for women at the time. This work provides a study of Scottish birds, documenting their status in various locations to determine if the birds were visitors to the area, migrating, breading or natives.
