In this week’s poser, taken from the judicial rentals in the Callander Barony Court records (National Archives of Scotland, RH11/10/1/30), we asked you what does Robert Callander pay in total in yearly rent and what was the date?

Answer
In addition to the six pounds, twelve shillings Scots, Robert Callander paid three bolls, three firlots of bere, in 1717.
