This is a copy of Robert Auld's Will after it was proved following his death. It is pretty easy to read, and the format has changed hardly at all

Notes

Note N1227 Index

Back stairs; Town: Edinburgh; County/Colonial: Scotland

This implies that at this time Robert Auld was Lord Alva's clerk. (Presumably before he moved to London). Or it could be his uncle Robert Auld (b 1726) as there are many references to a Robert Auld being a writer whilst Robert Auld Jnr was still a child

Notes

Note N1228 Index

This is the first of a number of Land Tax Registers showing Robert Auld of the Scottish Hospital's Land Tax (£6) so he was clearly in office as early as 1820.
