Inventory of writs of the family of Lamont of Lamont, from 1309 to 1739.
Scope and Contents
The second and third sections, beginning on folio 51, are in a different hand from the first. According to Hector McKechnie in ‘The Lamont Clan’, page 291, it was prepared in 1739 on the orders of Archibald Lamont of Lamont.
It was on this inventory that Sir Norman Lamont of Knockdow based his ‘An Inventory of Lamont Papers’ (Scottish Record Society, 1914), where a list of the contents is given on pages x-xi.
Some pencil annotations appear to be in the hand of the Reverend Walter MacLeod, who assisted Sir Norman.
