You can now find information about Scottish places past and present, selected from the holdings of the partner organisations. This includes digital copies of: Maps and plans of counties, cities, towns, villages, farms, roads, canals, harbours, churches, schools, public buildings, private houses, mines and quarries; Photographs of the built environment; Bathymetrical surveys of the Scottish fresh water lochs; Archaeological reports on historic and prehistoric sites; Manuscript records and printed books from millions of pages in government and private records, including tax rolls, owners of land and heritages, and the annual reports of county Medical Officers of Health. Tell me how to search for maps, plans and photographs. Tell me more about: Historical Tax Rolls Official Reports Boundary Information Hydrographic Surveys Farm Horse Tax 1797-1798 The Farm Horse Tax rolls (NAS E326/10) list the names of the owner and number of horses and mules used in husbandry or trade in 1797-1798. In some rolls the tax inspectors made repeat visits to track down non-payers, which explains why some parishes and burghs are repeated. The listing below is that of the original rolls. Clock and Watch Tax, 1797-1798 The Clock and Watch Tax rolls (National Archives of Scotland, E326/12) list the names of clock and watch owners as well as the number of clocks and watches and tax totals. The listing below is that of the original rolls. Only two volumes survive and it is fairly clear that a third volume (containing the counties of Midlothian, Moray, Orkney, Peebles, Perth, Renfrew, Ross, Roxburgh, Selkirk, Shetland, Stirling, Sutherland, West Lothian, and Wigtown) is not extant. All from The National Archives of Scotland Regards Jenny
