TitleLegal papers
Date1553 - 1790
Extent38 files, 14 items;
DescriptionThe majority of these legal papers were separated from the Crown Tower papers and arranged into a single series titled, 'miscellaneous legal papers'. The miscellaneous legal papers are mainly related to property rental and income but papers require full indexing for subject areas covered. In addition to this large series are: sasines, charters and dispositions connected to Alexander Anderson, a former burgess of Aberdeen (not Principal Alexander Anderson); Dispositions relating to Janet Cruickshank, James Catanach's (Civilist) wife; A sasine connected to Watertoun; A decree relating to Crymond; and an Act of Parliament in favour of the College from 1661.
ArrangementThe series 'Miscellaneous legal papers' was retained and no attempt to re-integrate the documents into possible original series has been made. Many of the items in this series are likely to have been separated from their original series of documents and have remained as individual items.
