Transcriber's notes
This assessor often makes a small 'o' that is indistinguishable from a small 'e'. When in doubt, I have decided to transcribe the letter to fit with the modern, standardized spelling of the given word, if I can figure it out (e.g., his 'Terryburn' becomes Torryburn). In the case of surnames with variant spellings, however (e.g. Andersen/Anderson) I have had no choice but to read the letter literally, as an 'e'.

Scottish Exchequer (Tax Records)
The Scottish Exchequer, and subsequently the Court of Exchequer, were concerned with the accounting of collected taxes in Scotland. These taxes include the Carriage tax (1785-1798), Cart tax (1785-1798), Clock and watch tax (1797-1798), Dog tax (1797-1798), Farm horse tax (1797-1798), Servant tax (1777-1798), Hearth tax (1691-1695), Horse tax (1785-1798), Inhabited house tax (1778-1798), Land tax (1645-1831), Poll tax (1694-1698), Shop tax (1785-1789), Window tax (1748-1798). Following the Consolidating Acts (38 Geo. III cap. 40 and 41), the duties on windows, inhabited houses, male servants, carts, carriages and dogs were incorporated in Consolidated Schedules of Assessed Taxes (1798-1799).
