I need some skilled computerizer to turn this image negative so the text can be read.

Re: Task
There is a brief family tree on Ancestry for a Rev Alexander Nicolson born 1646 in Scotland, MA St Andrews 1671, admitted 1678; married Alison Hume in 1685; had three children and died 31 August 1711. However, there are no citations/sources attached to the info.
Rev Nicolson was curate of Preston & Bunkle parishes in the Lammermuir Hills, Borders. According to a comment attached to the tree, Nicolson refused to read the Proclamation of the Estates (Parliament) or 'read prayers for William & Mary, he was rabbled (?) and the charge declared vacant from 6 July 1690.' Presumably, he then moved on to Holy Island.

Re: Task
From info elsewhere I'm sure it is. I wrote years ago to the National Trust re the opening hours to Lindisfarne Castle. It had stuck rigidly to their usual opening hours regardless of the tides. I'm an Arts & Crafts groupie and it took me several sorts of cunning to get a fix on when I could stay with friends nearby x tides x opening hours. Eventually all things came together. On a visit to Newcastle this w/e managed to pull in a small but interesting exhib at the Laing Gallery on the Arts & Crafts House with pics of the Castle.
