Transcriber's notes
Dear Bill Neil,
Could I please point you to the FAQs and Transcription guides which will assist you in your transcription work. Please especially note how to transcribe the following:
Date formats should be dd mmm yyyy or d mmm yyyy
Expanding first names should be Catherine not Cat[therine]
It is also not recommended to work only the headers on pages. You have now locked this volume out of reach of other transcribers. Please refrain from doing this in the future.
Please also make use of the forums to ask questions, you have a lot of bracketed names that other transcribers or moderators will be able to help you with.
Thank you

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).
