About Edinburgh, Scotland, Extent Rolls, 1580-1847

This collection includes extent rolls from Edinburgh, Scotland, dated between 1580 and 1847. Extent rolls were tax documents comprising information about rental owners' properties. Owners were not taxed for unoccupied properties. For most of this collection's time period, property addresses were not included, however, after 1820, property addresses were included more often.

Further details on the stent rolls are available via the SCAN catalogue - see https://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/scancatalogue/details.aspx?reference=GB236%2fSL35&st=1&tc=y&tl=n&tn=y&tp=n&k=&ko=o&r=gb236&ro=s&)
