Transcriber's notes
Unsure if the place name on the 1st entry shown as Bo-Burn is an abbreviation of a place I can not find any way to check.
There is a date entry of 21 Mar 1786 at the foot of the page which does not appear to relate to the entry
Scottish Exchequer (Tax Records), Male servant tax - Volume 5 - Counties (see 'More info' for county details), E326/5/5
Volume 5 contains male servant tax rolls, 1785-1786, for each county except the county of Buteshire. Royal burghs are covered by volume 6.
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).
