Like June, I am usually fairly good at transcribing wills, though have not done any Scottish to date or many that old. However, I do live in Scotland, understand quite a bit of (current) legal property-related terminology that can be quite different in Scotland to the rest of the UK, and have a few local historian friends I could call on to clarify if necessary. So, I'd be happy to take a look for you. Might be worth you getting a couple of different folk to have a go and compare results.
