Kirk Michael - 1704 Composition Book

This is transcribed from the 1760 copy of the 1704 document (MM microfilm RC2) - only a section (Cottages) is given here - full transcription on CD_Rom

The copy is on successive pages of a bound book - the folio numbers ffo  presumably correspond to the pages of the original from which this 1760 copy was made.

Values of rent are given in Roman numerals (transcribed as Arabic) but the column values are in Arabic numerals. The entries were numbered though one section appeared out of sequence.
