Description | The Stent Roll is a valuation of properties, mills and fishings within the burgh which were subject to payment of cess, or land tax. On 9 April 1712, the Town Council ordered that a valuation be made of these properties under the terms of 1712 Land Tax Act. The resulting Stent Roll lists the proprietors of taxable land within each quarter, their occupations and the assessments to be paid towards the land tax. The crofts and burgh roods were the agricultural holdings within the Royalty of Aberdeen. A printed map showing the location of the crofts is included in the endpapers of Charters relating to the Burgh of Aberdeen (ed P J Anderson, Aberdeen 1890).
