  <dc:title>Papers of William Shand (1776-1845) of The Burn, Fettercairn and Straloch</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The collection consists of correspondence, accounts, legal documents, slave and livestock lists. The documents relate mostly to estates in Jamaica owned by the Shand family, but a small number of records concern The Burn and Fettercairn, with some personal correspondence regarding William Shand. The slave lists are detailed and precise, often giving not only a slave's name, age and occupation, but also their colour, origin, and cause of death.</dc:description>
