Archival history |
Lost for many years, these very valuable writs were discovered (in the 1930s) in the office of Messrs Jameson, MacLae and Baird, Solicitors, now Messrs Macdonald, Jameson and Co, of 124 St Vincent Street, Glasgow, who very kindly returned them to the late Sir Hector Munro of Foulis. Unfortunately no light can be thrown upon how the documents came to be in that office though detailed enquiries were made by Mr Archibald D Campbell of the above firm. (Extract from introduction to McInnes, C T (editor) 'Calendar of Writs of Munro of Foulis, 1299-1823' (Scottish Record Society, 1940).) |
