Arrangement |
Documents in this Inventory are numbered within each section and reference should be made by section number and individual number. The individual number may be for one item, or for a bundle or volume. Sections 1-22 have been arranged to correspond as far as possible with the manuscript Inventory of Charters prepared by A. Francis Steuart. Other charters relating to lands in the sheriffdoms of Forfar and Perth may be found in Section 24 - Miscellaneous Charters - under the appropriate sheriffdoms. With the exception of Section 24 charters and other writs in Sections 1-25 are arranged as follows: Titles to Lands; Wadsets and Heritable Bonds; Apprisings and Adjudications; Inventories of Writs. Where double numbers in square brackets occur at the end of an entry they refer to the manuscript Inventory; references of this type without an entry denote that a document is missing , but a short description will be found in the Inventory. |
