Valuation rolls

Valuation rolls were local tax records, listing properties and people in each Scottish county and burgh between 1855 and 1996.

Wills and testaments

Testaments provide information about how people lived in the past: how they dressed, furnished their homes, conducted their affairs, the tools of their trade, what land they owned, the crops they grew and, in the 19th century, which public utilities they invested in and which railway companies they owned shares in.
