Titles, policy papers, leases, rentals, registers of demands, specifications for building works and other papers, largely 1772-1923, of the Sutherland Estates.

The papers described here form the second deposit of Sutherland Estates papers for the years 1861-1921, although there is some later material. The main series of estates papers for these years have been deposited as Acc.10225. Included here are the Rentals for the Dunrobin Management previously thought to have been lost. The Registers of Demands for building works and payments, 1861-1923, are of particular interest. There are also extensive series of leases and specifications of building works to be carried out on properties belonging to the Sutherland Estates. Other material includes papers relating to Helmsdale Harbour, Sutherland Technical School, and household inventories of Dunrobin Castle, 1907.
