- Scottish Record Office Indexes Number 63 - Index To Particular Register Of Sasines For Sheriffdoms Of Inverness, Ross, Cromarty And Sutherland Preserved In Her Majesty's General Register House Volume II 1661 - 1721
HMSO, Edinburgh 1967 1st edition.
Cloth spined boards, F. 148pp, a fine copy. Index of the Sasines Register. This is a register of Deeds & Land Ownership, or more correctly as in Scottish Law only the Crown could own land outright, title to the use of land. An instrument of sasine is a legal document that records the transfer of ownership (usually a sale or an inheritance) of a piece of land or of a building. It will normally detail the names of the new and previous owners and will give a basic description of the property transferred. There will usually be an indication of the price paid for the property. Sasines can also give you information about family history, particularly where an individual is passing land to another family member, or where the family designation is revealed (e.g. 'John Campbell of X'). Sometimes information given in one sasine will give you clues as to earlier titles in the chain and so lead you back to the earlier history of the ownership of a building or piece of land.
