highland and lowland charters, with a focus on pre-1700 sets that carry later interlineations, added clauses or replaced seals.

rentals, tacks, accounts and household ledgers tied to specific scottish estates between roughly 1580 and 1745.

abbreviated and original sasines from the burgh and county registers, with margin notes, deletions and later annotations.

tack agreements, renewals and assignations — usually checked for re-dating, replaced clauses or substituted parties.

comparison of secretary, italic and mixed scottish hands across closely related copies of the same document.

visual and reflectance notes on ink colour, fading pattern and overwriting, kept separately from any provenance story.

later additions to margins: dates, names, family notes, legal cross-references and small drawings that change the reading of the main text.

documents with a question already attached: replaced seals, wrong paper, ahistorical phrasing or signs of later assembly.

notes on documents that have been cleaned, flattened or rebound — what has been changed and what can still be read.

loose pre-1700 manuscripts — letters, drafts, household papers and unbound notebooks tied to highland estates.
