How exciting!!   Tremendous!   I would be 'over the moon' and posting it as well.   I expect you were too.   Make sure you can get a copy of it, that's wonderful.

What a wonderful site - I've just found a whole page of photos of the village where my Scottish ancestors lived, including one of the church and churchyard where they are buried  :D  :D.

Thanks so much for posting the link, doktorb.
