The older (original) version of the handbook has also been updated. This version includes more information for MacLeods not resident in the UK, or who are coming to Parliament for the first time.
Click on the image at left to download the old handbook, which is formatted as a booklet. It is set up for A4-sized paper, but can be printed on letter-sized paper if you either shink and center the pages, or just print as-is (the margins will be uneven).
In either case, print the booklet in "landscape" format, and if you print double-sided, opt to "flip on short edge."
