[ThumbelinaPM]

Sincere thanks for this work GR2. I would never had got there. Could I ask what handwriting the document is written in please?

I admit to being quite confused to the content so will need to work on it!

Many thanks again

As usual, especially with place-names, a word that's not 100% clear at the start appears again later on and is obvious. From the third clip, the place I left blank in the previous two clips is Glentore. I have gone back and filled them in.

This is not really secretary hand, which you would find in the 16th and into the 17th centuries, but just a more modern style developed through the 17th and into the 18th century. The language is different from earlier documents too. Earlier you would only find quhilk (= which), but here you get both quhilk and which. Earlier you would get "thir" where this document uses "these".

You're doing an amazing job GR2. I am away from today but will join in when I can, maybe ThumbelinaPM will post more of them and we can split them up between us!

[ThumbelinaPM]

This is amazing! I have had these sasines for years and never managed to find out what they say!

I am so grateful.

I will post more in case you both have time, there is no rush! But I understand completely if not.

I am hoping in time that they will link to each other as the land moves from one person to another. I have several Portioners in my Thomsons relating to Easter Glentore.

Thank you again.
