DescriptionThe Edinburgh lawyer George Home W.S. was engaged by the 8th Viscount to sort and catalogue the family's historic papers. Home produced a two-volume catalogue of the Arbuthnott muniments (MS 2764/1/1/1/3) in 1822, and also transcribed and translated other important Arbuthnott documents (MS 2764/3/2/1). This section contains the original documents on which the catalogue was based, together with Home's transcripts of the title deeds and the draft and final catalogues.

Letters from Home to Lord Arbuthnott on this work, and Home's final account, are included in MS 2764/3/1/6.
