Digitised copy of a Memorial by Stonefield concerning Tiree, 1748, recording the ‘State of the rents of Tyree [Tiree] from 1706 [and] Downwards’.
This document records sums paid alongside notes on tacksmen, the appointment of a factor, collection of rent, amounts in arrears, and the activities of Ballimore and Barnacarry (factors on Tiree). The document goes on to make further comments on how to more effectively manage the island, including lowering rent to attract new tenants.
