In this poser we asked you to identify the tenure under which George Ogilvie's property in Banff was held from a rental of 1632-36 taken from the Torphichen Regality Court register (National Records of Scotland, RH11/68/6, page 93).
Answer: The tenure was blench ferme. The badly formed word in line 5 appears to be blence. The sentence in full reads: Payis thairfoir yeirlie ane pennye money of this realme In name of blence ferme dewtie.
