Poser 346 – Secretary's Register of Sasines for Perthshire, 17th century

In this week's poser, taken from the Secretary's Register of Sasines for Perthshire (National Records of Scotland, RS48/1 page 10), we asked you what the this sasine excerpt tells us about John Pitcairn.

Answer: John Pitcairn is the brother-german of Andrew Pitcairn and a burgess of Perth.
