Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Roll of Edinburgh Burgesses and Guild-Brethren, 1406-1700
The very early entries are taken from the minutes or records of the Town Council. The scroll volumes, whose contents have not been entered in the official volumes, or have been lost with them, are very badly and hastily written, and in many cases the names, christian and, more particularly, family, are very difficult to decipher, the rather that no rule of spelling has been observed, and the attempts at a phonetic rendering are bewildering. The Celtic names are really dreadful.
