The volume contains minutes of decisions taken by the Deacon and Brethren to regulate trade and control admission, 1576, 1581, 1586, 1613-1614, 1632, 1654, undated, lists of freemen and apprentices, 1581, 1586, 1593, 1605, 1628-1655, undated, and notes of payments made by members, 1575, 1587, undated. The miscellaneous and haphazard nature of this volume indicates that it may have been a rough note book rather than a formal record kept by the Incorporation of Linlithgow Shoemakers.
